I can't reproduce it. I've tried to play the URL directly with vlc,
downloaded it with youtube-dl and downloaded the webm. It never crashed
on normal speed or higher speed.

So without a minimal sample that causes the clash, the traceback with
-dbg packages installed and a verbose vlc log, there is not much we can
do.
