[Live-devel] Question about MultiFramedRTPSource.cpp

In release 2003.08.07, the code is:

  unsigned frameSize = nextEnclosedFrameSize(newFramePtr, fTail -
fHead);
  bytesUsed = (frameSize > toSize) ? toSize : frameSize;
  fHead += (newFramePtr - origFramePtr) + frameSize;

So when frameSize > toSize, frameSize - toSize bytes are skipped.  I
actually tested this, both before and after my change, so I'm sure it
causing data loss.  However, perhaps this code was changed in a more
recent version.  I will update our source base (a non-trivial task), and
try again.

Thanks kindly for the help.

Note that, in general, support is provided for the latest version of the

code only.  So, developers should make sure they're using the latest 
version of the code when they run into a problem.

Note that - three lines above this - is the statement:
         bytesUsed = frameSize
so, these two statements are equivalent.
