[Live-devel] A Bug with "MediaSubsession::getNormalPlayTime()" and its solution (John.Shaofa)

Yes, I used latest version of VLC 1.1.3 and media server 0.5, and It produces the same result. Only to add that,
If you run the VLC and media server in a same PC machine, you have to 10% chance to reproduce the bug;
If you run them it two separate PC computers, you have almost 100% chance to reproduce the problem.
