           Summary: jitterbuffer seqnum gap detection is wrong

           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux

          Priority: Normal

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The jitterbuffer use the wrong variable to detect gaps in the seqnum of input
packets. 

The last_popped_seqnum variable is used to check for big gaps but since this
variable controls the seqnums on the output pads it can't be used to check for
seqnums on the input pad.

This causes the jitterbuffer to check for gaps with each received packet and
could possibly erronously reset the jitterbuffer.
