According to my information, you are supposed to use the timestamps
feature of the flip queue to solve this issue. I have not yet
investigated that though, so I do not know if it is actually appropriate
for MPlayer.
Also frame-dropping is traditionally optional in MPlayer since some
people are highly allergic to it.
I changed the code so the number of output surfaces can be adjusted, but
increasing that alone does not really seem to help any.
