Freeze with libvlc_media_player_set_rate

Hi

I am using the libvlc API (0.99) for a player, and I need to frequently change the playrate of the video. The function libvlc_media_player_set_rate changes the playrate, but causes a small freeze of half a second of the video.

I wanted to know if this freeze was a specific problem of mine, or if it was normal. In this case, are there some improvements scheduled for the next version of libvlc ?

I know that I could check the source code to do the modifications by mylself, but I'm new in programming, and I don't understand what are the files, or the functions that manage the playrate and its changes in vlc source.

Thank you for any information, and sorry for my bad English. ;)
