[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Do not delay processing of the first data page of the last logical stream in an Ogg stream

[ogg.k.ogg.k at googlemail.com]

The first data page of a physical stream is stored in the relevant
logical stream
in Ogg_FindLogicalStreams. Therefore, we must not read a page and only
update the
stream it belongs to if we haven't processed this first page yet. If we do, we
will only process that first page whenever we find the second page for
this stream.
While this is fine for Vorbis and Theora, which are continuous codecs,
which means
the second page will arrive real quick, this is not fine for Kate, whose second
data page will typically arrive much later.
This means it is now possible to seek right at the start of a stream
where the last
logical stream is Kate, without having to wait for the second data
page to unblock
the first one, which is the one that triggers the 'no more headers to
backup' code.
And, as we all know, seeking without having backed up all headers is
bad, since the
codec will fail to initialize if it's missing its headers.
