... so that output queue buffers (bitstream) can be process regardless if there
is available capture buffers.

I have concerns around the usefulness of running a dedicated thread to drive the
lat and the core blocks. Having 3 threads (counting the m2m worker thread) here
increase the complexity. The hardware is asynchronous by definition. I think
this patch will go away after a proper rework of the driver thread model here.
