How 'bout this?  If the number of frames in buffer goes below some
threshold we start dropping every second or third frame (or some other
appropriate number). If the buffer continues to decrease, drop more
frames until buffer starts filling up again.  This way AV sync could
always be maintained and there would be no long gaps in video.  Or is
this just another bad idea?
