[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-server] gstreamer: Prevent integer overflow in delay computation

The partial expression "MSEC_PER_SEC * size * 8" can overflow if
size is 536870 or more. This as the operation is done using
32 bit unsigned integers. Being the size potentially double of
a compressed frame size the limit can be easily reached.
As get_average_frame_size already return a 64 bit use 64 bit
even for the size to avoid the integer overflow.
