I did check that 16 secs could be 3072000/2/2/48000 (mpeg2 x 2ch x 48k)
which is the primary buffer. Which indicates that its still a main 
buffer wrap issue.
Not that I understand yet.
Could it be that the first more is overwritten in the buffer than is 
absorbed and that the 2nd read of the buffer is invalid or has crap?
I also cant remember if the buffer was frame constrained or byte 
constrained in length?
I need to take a close look at everything. weekend perhaps.

apologies for my previous stupidity.
