Bug Description

during startup of mms://streamtn.uigc.net/TN libmms goes tits up trying to disable a stream that is outside the asf header bounds.

attached diff is not to be considered a solution as such, even though with it applied playback starts successfully.
as my knowledge of the internals are lacking i hope one of you guys can take it from here.

Note: moving to launchpad did not completely play out as planned, as the current only active developer for this projects (me) prefers git over bzr libmms has moved back to sf.net.

This patch is included in the latest upstream release:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmms/libmms/0.6/libmms-0.6.tar.gz

Closing this bug.

Awesome, thanks Hans.

Note for Ubuntu Lucid / 10.04 users: manually applying the patch and rebuilding libmms still works fine as a workaround.

Hans: are you the package maintainer? otherwise I can open a new launchpad bug for libmms to be upgraded to latest upstream (0.6) in maverick.
