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 this 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. To avoid premature exit
from the decoder loop we also need to add EAGAIN returns so that if we
don't have more data right now, but expect to have some in the near future
we can signal this to libav.
