[vlc-devel] [PATCH] access: dvb: Realloc block to actually used size.

[Julian Scheel]

For low bandwidth streams (seen with DVB-C Radio) it can happen that the blocks
are not fully used, because less than 20 TS packets are available from the
demuxer at the given time. This leads to a quite high memory usage due to empty
buffer memory lying around. Avoid this by reallocating the buffer blocks to the
actually used size, like it is done in other access modules (ie udp) already.
