Sorry for not answering earlier. The current videobuf implementation has some problems. Laurent and Pawel are working on a new implementation that will likely solve such issues. Not sure if they already submitted the patches, since I just return back from vacations, and I'm still trying to handle all the backlogs on my inboxes. I haven't look at LMML posts yet.
