In specific situations, this still makes the player wait on the decoder,
such as seeking, switching hardware decoding modes, and more.
+ The queue size is restricted by the other ``--vd-queue-...`` options. The
+ final queue size is the minimum as indicated by the option with the lowest
+ limit. Each decoder/track has its own queue that may use the full configured
+ queue size.

Most queue options can be changed at runtime. ``--vd-queue-enable`` itself
(and the audio equivalent) update only if decoding is completely
reinitialized.
