 File http://nrkbeta.no/2009/12/18/bergensbanen-eng/

 doesn't play

 minutt.for.minutt.1280x720p50.h264.NRK.mp4.torrent

 The cause for the failure is related to how the RingBuffer::Read behaves.

 It waits until there's exactly the number of bytes requested.
 Here, FFmpeg seek to the end of the file and request 5189405
 but we are 4161536 from the end of the file only.

 It times out after 16s waiting.

 RingBuffer::Read should returns only what is currently available and not
 wait unnecessarily, letting FFmpeg deal with the retries.
