[Mplayer-users] maybe bugfix

[Arpi]

Hi,

I've just fixed a fatal bug in streamer.c, occuring some strange
behaviour of the file format detection and input/read code, depending
on the behaviour of malloc/free :)

If mplayer is broken for you, try with the new version of stream.c
(it's on CVS). Maybe it fixes your problem. If so, please report it!
(last weeks i got many misterious bugreports... i want to close them.)

The bug is very simple - just an uninitialized field of an
malloc'ed struct. It's the buffer index of the input cache, so if
it isn't initialized to 0 (it depends on previous free()'s) then
input can be read badly... fileformat misdetection, etc.
