OK, the mpeg thread could load 5 seconds+watermark_level of the first file
and 5 seconds of the next. When 5 seconds have passed, it will continue
loading the current file from where the second file was loaded. Hmmm...
Doesn't sound impossible.
This would of course only happen at mpeg_next() and mpeg_play().
