Well, I'm seeing it from harddisc also when reading from "exotic"
filesystems like HFS and FAT so it might be as well a bad interaction
with the OS.

Considering that the CPU is fast enough to decode three to eight times
the data in realtime I rather doubt that it is the decoding itself. That
seems to be more like a broken data feed issue either because there's
not enough raw data in cache or the demuxer do not supply enough data
in one chunk which leads to latencies.
