	The decoder:run() stuff holds the mutex while it's decoding, which it 
shouldn't really need to do (could just just hold when it's updating 
the ouput buffer).

	It could use a redesign, as it is actually inherited code from a 
completely different project. The problem is that it is a bit hairy to 
get into and redo, and it seems to work just about everywhere (with the 
apparent exception of some Redhat/Fedora distros).
