Dropping buffers - hlsdemux ! decodebin2

Hi,

using a pipeline like:

GST_DEBUG=2 gst-launch souphttpsrc location=
http://ipad.akamai.com/Video_Content/cbc/being_erica/1240k/prog_index.m3u8 !
hlsdemux ! decodebin2 ! autovideosink

I'm getting the messages below after a while and the video gets increasingly
choppy the longer I run it. Surprisingly it runs for about 10 minutes and
then starts to produce the messages.
Trying the same setup with other streams leads to the same behavior,
depending on the stream it happens sooner or later. GStreamer and plugins
are git master.

Additional debug info:

As the system can play 1080p25 content without any issues I don't think that
the system is too slow.

Any idea there this may come from?

Thanks,
