There's a bug open about adding an API to SoupMessage to extract the actual content length out of the gzip metadata when the stream is compressed. (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664620). So that would be another solution. But it's true, as Sebastian notes in the other bug, that multimedia streams ought to already contain compressed data and thus not be usefully compressible anyway...
