Bug Description
Device: Nexus 7 (2013)
Image: r187 (older images were also affected)
Steps to reproduce:

What happens:
Depending on the source file, one or more of the following things may happen:

- Audio playback starts, but the screen stays black.
- Playback starts, but video freezes after a few seconds and then audio stops a few seconds later.
- The speed of the video is correct, but not every frame is displayed on the screen - playback is stuttering.

Smooth playback.
