2.0.5 stopping & starting video fails

[hbaker1@pipeline.com]

This problem seems quite reproducible.

1. Set file caching parameter very high -- e.g., 30000msec = 30 seconds.

2. Start video.

3. Open Message window & set to debug.

4. Increase speed to perhaps 1.8x (hit "]" a number of times).

5. Wait until video & audio are playing smoothly (more or less).

6. Stop video with space bar.

7. Start video with space bar.

The VLC control loop goes crazy trying to restabilize; it continues to flap.

Here's how to get out of it.

a. Stop the video again.

b. reposition video to a different part of the video -- even a few seconds change will work.

c. restart the video & it plays ok.

Apparently, by repositioning the video, it clears the buffers, so the control loop restarts from scratch.

Suggestion for fix: when a video is stopped & restarted, treat this situation as if the video had been repositioned.
