Comment(by coling):

 Thanks for that Forest! The patches look good, but I'm not 100% sure of
 the last one. I accept that it's needed for VLC but it may not be quite as
 nice for power-friendly applications... I'll have to discuss this but in
 an ideal world VLC should be able to deal more gracefully with large
 latencies (which would likely be needed for properly supporting e.g.
 network or bluetooth devices anyway I believe). I'll certainly merge the
 first three if no one else complains.

 If it helps in the mean time we can perhaps make the block size argument a
 modarg which will help mitigate problems with some clients while keeping
 the current default for optimum power for clients that support the larger
 latencies more gracefully (of course this might be irrelevant but I'll
 find out :D)
