Allow partial reads
Traditionally we've always had RingBuffer::Read() return the number of
bytes requested unless we are at the end of the file. But this blocks
libav which expects the read to complete fairly quickly even if it is a
blocking read. Instead we should block for only a short time waiting for
more data and then return what data we do have as long as we have at least
1 byte of data.
Based on a patch by DanielK
