[vlc-devel] [PATCH v2] access_output: udp: fix conversion from uint8_t* on Windows

[Alexandre Janniaux]

It fixes warning on uint8_t* being used as char* in Windows API, as
Windows's `send` takes a char* instead of a void*.

Like discussed on the mailing list, casting to char* would be incorrect
to pass blob of data in all platforms and most API other than Windows
require a void*, so casting here is a no-op on most platform and remove
the warning on Windows.
