FS#32 - vcs gets stuck on first capture (or during probe)

Fails on some files (gets stuck forever while capturing the first frame).

Happens often with Matroska. 1.0.7a introduced a workaround (-Wo) with ffmpeg’s argument order that worked with other file types.

Might happen if ffmpeg chokes on a file. E.g. I came a cross a broken file, redirection stderr output went like: 

$ vcs -O stderr=/dev/stderr brokenfile.avi
[...]

Not sure if that's the same bug.
The file was unplayable.

With the new probing stuff this can happen before capturing.
