[Live-devel] Unitialized memory in RTPReceptionStats

I *do* like "valgrind".  The problem with it, however, is that it frequently reports 'errors' that aren't really errors.

Therefore, I generally don't pay attention when people send me "valgrind" reports, unless they can also note a specific problem in the code that is causing these reports to be generated.  But fortunately you have done this.

This will be fixed in the next release of the code (later today).  Thanks for the report.
