There are other ways to handle this. What you're doing is wrong. I'm
guessing the assert(!pSample); is wrong, if it's flushing it ought to
return all samples held. If it has a sample and returned VFW_E_TIMEOUT
I guess it has to break. The preferred allocator would have to be a
separate patch.

Cheers,
