RE: [libdv-dev] RE: xdvplay 0.2 is available

Just try to feed an arbitrary file to playdv to crash it.

You can easily create files with dropped packets if you run dvgrab on an almost 
full or slow disk drive. I did not try playdv (or xdvplay) with such files, I 
was quite happy that it works on good files.

Could we start a collection of data streams with errors?
