[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/2] access/udp: Define MSG_TRUNC on recv call

[Ilkka Ollakka]

Allows receiving the data size additional to trunced flag.

Tested adjustment of MTU by sending data to localhost via netcat:

cat ~/tmp/myfile.mp3|netcat -u 127.0.0.1 1234

and vlc -Idummy -vv udp://@127.0.0.1:1234 --sout="#stat"

without this patch the rtp input constantly complains about trunced
input and doesn't adjust the receiving amount.
