Hello there.
I ended up here while looking at a failure to preroll on some radio stream.
The patch that was committed adds a time limit to non seekable streams, but
this would seem to make more sense to add it to seekable streams, as non
seekable streams are usually outputting data at a set time rate. I understand
slomo's comment above to also say that. What is the rationale to keeping this
time limit to seekable streams (reading 584104 does not immediately tell me why
this should be so).

Adding the time limit for non seekable streams allows my unseekable UDP
streamed MPEG/TS radio stream to preroll again, which makes me happy, so I'd
like to know what it'd break, or if the only-on-seekable should be
only-on-non-seekable.
