It was me who broke it in the first place.
It is related to the change to support files where streams would finish early
or just drop out for some time, without breaking caching/interleaving
too much.
Unfortunately I haven't come up with a good way to make it still handle
files with bad interleaving at the start without such hacks as I added
now to the real demuxer.
