Comment:

 See attached PATCH[mythplayback2.diff]!

 This particular bug can still be seen with the latest SVN trunk (13857).
 It seems that there still exists a race condition, where the user rewinds
 backwards and then presses PLAY to return to normal playback speed ---> it
 is possible that a LIRC-based remote control thread is able to call
 NuppelVideoPlayer::UnpauseVideo() before the mythfrontend thread calls
 NuppelVideoPlayer::PauseVideo(). Whenever this happens the mythfrontend
 hangs indefinetely with the error message "Waited too long for video out
 to pause" over and over.

 The attached patch fixes this particular race condition by still
 introducing a single condition variable.

 Regards,
 Tomi Orava
