[Live-devel] RTP/RTCP data reading - subsequent select() calls

In the case you've noted, in this case (because we know that the socket is 
immediately readable) the extra call to select() is actually superfluous 
(but, on the other hand, does no harm).  In some other situations, though, 
you want to do a blocking read on a socket that might not currently be 
readable.  To simplify the code, the call to "blockUntilReadable()" is done 
in all cases.
