dumb patch that fixes the crash

I reproduced the crash, by playing the video in totem and seeking through it.
It's because the demuxer is on a buffer boundary and needs more data to
proceed.
There is a mecanism in the code to deal with this, but it wasn't applied
everywhere.

So I applied some dumb "do as the rest of the code" bug fixing, plugged a
memleak on the way,  

And now it no longer crashes.

(but the demuxer as a whole obviously needs way more work to be robust.)
