Comment(by ttmesterr at gmail.com):

 I have attached a patch to potentially resolve an issue that causes the
 NuppelVideoPlayer decoder thread to get stuck in the
 AudioOutputBase::Drain() function while the audio output thread is paused.

 The first part of the patch allows the audio to be un-paused when
 prebuffering is done.
 The second part of the patch keeps a thread from getting stuck in the
 Drain() function if the audio buffer level is not changing.  This is
 really a fail-safe in case there are other conditions where this set of
 events can occur.
