Proposed fix

The current implementation of download_loop downloads every segment from the
current Period.  If a 2 hour movie is presented in the MPD as a single Period,
the dashdemux will attempt to download and queue up buffers for the entire
presentation.

The demux should buffer at least the value of the "minBufferTime" MPD
attribute.  It must also respect the MAX_BUFFERING_TIME property of the
element.

Proposed fix attached.
