Description
This experimental patch tries to modify the SMUSH player such that all file access is done from within a single thread -- the SMUSH player thread/timer callback.
This should help systems where a file handle can only be accessed from the thread it was created in (EPOC/Symbian).
This also should make it a bit easier to optimize file access, see also bug #1174927.

Well, if you insist... although I think it would have been far easier if you had just written an appropriate patch based on the item description yourself, tsk tsk! :-)

Well, it still seems to be working like before, which is good.
It doesn't fix the Full Throttle slowdowns, but given your description of the patch I didn't expect it to.

Indeed; it's only transforming the code a bit, and moving some file handling code to another thread. The only thing it should affect is EPOC/Symbian; all other systems hopefully work unchanged.
I'll commit this then (if it does cause subtle regressions, we can still back it out again, right?).

I'll try it once you attach the file. ;-)
