The fake channel has been introduced to get the audio volume by starting the gstreamer's audio pipeline and querring its volume info (see commit aa8d044417bbf60685f59163b874ecb4f157c3c9). Hovewer starting the pipeline updates the mmtime as a side effect. This may cause a (big) delay in displaying a video stream. Because the fake channel is only needed to get the volume info, make sure to not update the mm-time with it.
