Not really wanting to reply to myself but I do have more info.

The patch that may be the problem (i.e. the only one that seems to touch
the streaming interface) is:
[6d1ee08] 0158-Rewrite-of-StreamingRingBuffer-safe_read.patch

One of my frontends hasn't been updated after all and that one is fine...

I'll try to revert just that one patch and see what happens, in the
meantime if someone could confirm that TED talks no longer work?
