You are almost correct ;) The only other allowed number which my XBox
accepted, besides the very big value, is 50, which is exactly the
current size after writing the header - asf->data_offset. Basicly, all
bytes written after the data_offset at that time (so not including the
ASF header). This is identical with the way the data-chunk-size is later
on in the code patched up for stored asfs.

Also, because the url is streamed, the broadcast flag already was set to
1 correctly.


So, in a third attempt, here is the patch setting the data-chunk-size to
50 by default. I had a bit of trouble getting a good comment line, feel
free to edit it to something better ;)
It has to be noted that this can't really damage anything, as for
example mplayer ignores this value when reading a stream, and both
Windows Media Player as XBox360 play this perfectly. And all stored asfs
get this value overridden anyway.


With kind regards,
