[Spice-devel] [PATCH] gstreamer: Fix infinite loop in get_period_bit_rate

[Frediano Ziglio]

This was discovered by change by me and Uri trying some remote connection
with slow network (8Mbit) and high latency

The encoder->history status was (edited for readability):

You can see that encoder->history[encoder->history_first].mm_time == to
cause the check index == encoder->history_first to not be executed.

This code change was suggested by Uri.
