I've looked and studied the flow in the recorder, and to my
understanding, the packet queue is moot after the initial sync, maybe
even then - but that's beyond me right now.
With the previous choice to mux trailing packets whatever the case, this
doesn't result in any new ill effects (and some missing packets at the
end is no big deal).
Notably, since we don't have to hold onto the packets after we get
muxing, we'll never run into any issues with veeery long GOPs filling up
our queue (resulting in dropped packets and much user chagrin).
