Seeking around in the stream often fixes this.

From what I've heard it's metronom having problems with the beginning 
of some streams. This gets dxr3 video out of sync and since the dxr3 is 
unable to skip frames, it does not recover from it. When this happens, 
you see messages saying "dxr3: skip = _" in your console output.
But since the metronom code will be worked on, we can hope that this 
problem will be solved somewhen.
