[Asterisk-video] Drop video packets on video change (Issue#15)

[Thomas Frieling]

Hi Sergio!

We have found some more problems:

There seems to exist a memory leak: When switching between videos a lot 
during one call the amount of memory consumed by asterisk increases 
steadily. We had asterisk consume 3% (of 4GB) more memory after only one 
call. I think this could be because of mp4play not clearing the buffers 
or because we disabled logging to /tmp.

Another problem is that some videos cannot be played with mp4play while 
rtsp works. I can send you some examples if you want to . Would be great 
if you could implement the "drop packets" thing for rtsp as soon as 
possible so that we can use streaming again.

Thanks,
Thomas
