Hi,

Last month, I sent a bug report and received no answers :

The issue is : if you change your system time while you receive a stream, then
the library may make your cpu very busy.

So I patched the library myself : I replaced gettimeofday by a monotonic clock.
This has only been tested with linux. In case someone else is looking for a
solution to this bug, I attached my patch.

Regards,

Seb.
