As discussed on IRC the situation is as follows:
a) This patch is fine, it doesn't make sense to compress media streams. It only causes additional load on the server. And due to the size in bytes being not the uncompressed size in bytes, there can be problems with seeking.
b) More important there seems to be a bug somewhere between webkitwebsrc, appsrc, dashdemux/hlsdemux that causes dashdemux/hlsdemux to receive EOS too early when the size in bytes is not accurate, especially it seems to receive EOS before it receives the last missing buffer. This must be fixed in any case, wherever this bug is.

Andre is continuing to debug b), a) should nonetheless be considered too here.
