[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/3] access/rtp: define MSG_TRUNC on recv call if available.

[Ilkka Ollakka]

recv() needs MSG_TRUNC flag so it will tell actual data-size if truncate
would happen additional to setting flag for it.

Tested the adjust of MTU by sending data to localhost via netcat:

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

and vlc -Idummy -vv rtp://@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.
