Try 3.3s, I've made it now the default to fast stop, and possibly partly from that before that caused this problem (app not expecting it to decode all the buffers). Also I have always suspected the app calling flush buffers for decoding can't be safe, it's just to do something already done in the driver, could be a race condition there, where we are told to stop decoding and while doing that then flushing the buffers in the driver the app runs flush buffers externally at the exact same time.
