By going wrong - you mean it was still producing the continuous choppy audio
and not just fragments of choppy audio with gaps of silence.  Has it happened
often or just once so far ?

I know how to trigger a resynch of the stream because as described the stream
has no packet losses but the start point for decoding has been lost.
The problem is when to start the retrigger.  I thought I wouldn't have to
address this possibility.
