In the original stream_Demux (from 2004), there was a lock. But then

Note that versions 1.24 and later of GNU/libidn are dual-licensed under
GPLv2+ and LGPLv3+. As with GnuTLS or Samba client, there are 3 ways
to retain LibVLC binaries under LGPLv2.1+:
 - link against a version of GNU/libidn from last year (or older),
 - do not support IDN at all,
 - use another IDNA back-end (e.g. Windows Vista's Normaliz.dll).
