This is what it does under valgrind:  This is the write frame one that
happens, reading clearQAM HD signals over udp and from clearQAM cards.
 There's also a av_read_frame issue too that seems to be either the mpegts
parser doing something odd or somehow the input context streams changing.
 Often times from what I can tell basically when the stream is very
'corrupted' then these cause the input context to get confused (thinking the
audio codec or settings suddenly change, they don't, and new streams keep
appearing).  Then output wise as below, it seems suddenly the packet buffer
has some frames possibly that have a fully negative large stream index value
and those cause a crash from trying to reference  a stream with them as the
index.  So just seems like the whole internal system is being somewhat
thrashed by the mpegts packets, admittedly from a probably bad input
clearQAM signal.
