Patch against git head

On low-end machines, PulseAudio can crash due to spending too much time in RT
prio, and with the PulseAudio debug log is filled with rewinds. One way to
counteract this, and improve performance in general, is to send fewer bigger
packets instead of many small ones. 

I'm attaching a patch that removes a strange limit of packet size to
GStreamer's "segment size", which have been reported by more than one user, to
fix the problem of PulseAudio crashing.
