This second time can be up to a second by its own. To get instant switching, you would have to also decode the second stream in the background, so that the current frame is available the moment it is needed. Or you can buffer the last GOP of the stream and go back to that point on channel switch. You would have to ring-buffer up to one complete GOP permanently in memory to keep the delay from there on. Both things are tricky to implement, require work on the output devices, and are probably not worth the effort.
