When doing rtx, the jitterbuffer will always add an rtx-timer for the next
sequence number.

In the case of the packet corresponding to that sequence number arriving,
that same timer will be reused, and simply moved on to wait for the
following sequence number etc.

Once an rtx-timer expires (after all retries), it will be rescheduled as
a lost-timer instead for the same sequence number.

Now, if this particular sequence-number now arrives (after the timer has
become a lost-timer), the reuse mechanism *should* now set a new
rtx-timer for the next sequence number, but the bug is that it does
not change the timer-type, and hence schedules a lost-timer for that
following sequence number, with the result that you will have a very
early lost-event for a packet that might still arrive, and you will
never be able to send any rtx for this packet.
