The problem is that this patch hide the problem "under the carpet".
Latency should not build up. If the current code is causing that and
not a problem in the protocol or other external reasons (like network
issues). If this patch helps with latency on the video this seems to
indicate that the problem is not network (this patch don't improve
network in any way) or slow client (the frames are still decoded).

What does it actually means out of sync? Is audio or video or both affected?
