Hmm - well I haven't made a close inspection (frame by frame) of every frame during the startup of second player. Kaffaine seems to have blocked screen refresh because Xorg gets locked via starting mplayer. So there is definitely frame skipping viewing experience - but that's the flaw of Xorg - sound is played just fine. If I should check whether there are no TS stream errors only at the moment of startup, I'll need to grab both streams and make a better analysis. My current statement was purely based on the fact, that I could watch both channels without any picture artefacts or sound distorsion - but during startup there is surelly a period, when some frames are not even visibile, because kaffeine cannot even refresh playing window - but that's another story....
