I will see if I can put together a test case that exposes the problem. The
comment for this block says "make buffer smaller in case it ended up large
after probing" - I'm not 100% certain what that means. I put prints inside
this block and after the ffio_set_buf_size() call, this block is never
executed again. In my custom case I am streaming an MPEG.TS file and I
don't know if this involves this extra "probing" or not.
Even so, there is nothing in the code above that would limit 'len' to be
greater than the size of s->orig_buffer_size, so the assert doesn't seem
like the right way to handle this here.
