Hmm, there are a number of different issues like this, I'm not exactly 
sure which one of the cases this is. If you receive over UDP, try setting 
-max_delay 500000 before the input url, in order to enable RTP packet 
reordering, which might or might not help.

This might also be related to these issues:

But since roundup doesn't seem to be working too well at the moment, I 
can't really check what error messages were shown in thoses cases.
