[pkg-mad-maintainers] Bug#619341: [patch] madplay segfaults and dumps core after playing mp3-files

[Ben Winslow]

Package: madplay
Version: 0.15.2b-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The ALSA audio output code allocates a PCM buffer based on whatever the current
ALSA buffer size happens to be rather than what madplay's audio code wants
to write to it.

The attached patch always allocates the maximum (55296 bytes), which parallels
the behavior of the OSS output code.  It fixes the crashes for me.
