[Live-devel] fMaxSize variable

[Ross Finlayson]

Robert,

"fMaxSize" is set to the value of the "maxSize" parameter to 
"FramedSource::getNextFrame()" (see "FramedSource.cpp").  I.e., its value 
is set by the caller of "getNextFrame()" - to specify the maximum amount of 
data that's allowed to be returned.

Note that "getNextFrame()" is implemented by the "doGetNextFrame()" virtual 
function (which each "FramedSource" subclass implements to do the data 
delivery).  Each "doGetNextFrame()" implementation will look at "fMaxSize", 
to ensure that it is not delivering too much data.

It's changing because the "maxSize" parameter to "getNextFrame()" is 
changing.  I.e., you should look at the next object in the data chain.
