--- Comment #5 from Nicolas Dufresne (stormer) <nicolas.dufresne at collabora.co.uk> ---
Apparently, there is a massive amount of files in the wild that are only audio
or only video, but advertise both in the header. I believe (I didn't wrote
that) that this hack was an attempted to support these file. Without the
threshold, the buffer will fill up and the pipeline will stall.

That being said, I consider this hack harmful in live mode. Stalls on high
interleaving, or missing expected stream is something that may happen with any
demuxers. I believe there exist some other way to workaround, using gaps even
and fake caps in other demuxers.
