That sounds like you keep trying to read over and over when there's an
error - you probably have to address the error somehow, or disconnect
the channel.

I don't really know how this is intended to work. There may be some
clean solution that Owen and Ron had in mind while writing it.

I would guess that you can at the very least set the encoding to NULL
and do all the conversion yourself, though.
