It works fine with ffmpeg, but the current problem with ffplay doesn't
depend on this, it depends on the fact that avcodec_decode_frame()
doesn't necessarily return the decoded frame on the first call as in
this case.

But I see a problem may occurr with ffplay, if the video displaying
thread is requesting a frame and the decode_thread (which is to say
the truth a demux_thread) queue is still empty,
in this scenario a preventive call to avfilter_poll_frame() may help.

Regards.
