Coming from bug #640610.

"videotestsrc is-live=1 ! element-that-drops-framerate-and-duration !
xvimagesink"

That magical element could be a network using RTP. Since the sink doesn't know
the framerate or duration, the "stop" time is always NONE. So the only thing
that prevents frames from being dropped is the "max-lateness", which is often
not enough if there is enough processing hapenning.

The issue at hand is that the sink decides to drop "too many buffers".
