Alright, with this fix the playback behaviour is much cleaner.
Right now, it goes like this:

        - Fill the buffer up to a given amount
        - Play flushing the buffer

The above two steps are repeated till the full movie is loaded.
It is clear to me that the problem is that the buffer is not being
filled *while* the flushed...

This is most likely due to the *filler* (av_streamer) locking the 
mutex and only releasing (by waiting on a condition) when the buffer
contains at least 10 frames.

Rather, the *filler* should run continuosly w/out locking any mutex
unless actually accessing the buffer (ie: no locking if new frames are
not available, or not wanted).

Does it sound ?
