What sense would it make if the player offered you data _other_ than the second
half of what it offered you before?! I believe it is an absolute fair assumption
that you will see a consistent data stream no matter how much you accept with
each call to PlayVideo(). If the player decides to continue playing somewhere else,
it would have to call Clear() first, anyway.
