Description

When configured in push mode, tsdemux can generate a segment while flushing or with wrong values, when two consecutive seek events are handled in parallel. This can stall the pipeline for very long times.

Here's a stripped/tweaked log from tsdemux that exhibits this issue:

stm0: seek to 95032ms from start

In this example the second segment is sent too early, and its start value is invalid. The start value should be the lowest PTS in all streams received after the seek event, but here no data was received yet (flush_stop hasn't even been received yet).
