unfortunately I have not done much digging yet.  the machine I noticed
the problem on is an old pii 400mhz.  I noticed the issue today with a
r25958 binary I had built from cvs yesterday.

the next earliest binary I have on the system is a r25644, but I'm fairly
sure the breakage occured within the last week or two at most because I
build from cvs every couple days.  alas I do not always save the binary.

playing h264 on this machine pretty much consumes 100% cpu, but with
framedrop on things stay in sync and only on fast pans is any skipping
of frames to the vo noticeable.  so this change in this latest build
was immedately noticeable to me, since A/V de-sync occurs immedately
and every frame can still be seen being drawn to the vo.

tested with an empty config file to be certain as possible there are no
other factors I'm missing.
