Please describe the problem:
When playing h264 encoded video, playback is not as smooth as it should be (or
as it is when using mplayer or vlc or other players).

People on IRC were talking about out-of-order buffers and timestamps that are
causing this problem. Please fix this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Play any h264 encoded file. Apparently the used container-format is not
important.

Actual results:
The file plays but it's jerky, sluggish, not smooth or whatever you want to
call it.

Expected results:
I would expect the file to play as smooth as it does in other players like
mplayer.

Does this happen every time?
Happens with every h264 encoded file using latest cvs.

Other information:
I uploaded a sample file here: http://wolpzone.de/dir/vortex/test_h264.mkv
