Title: Fixed Issue #147.

When requesting resend of packets a lot, iOS sometimes sends a packet with type 0x56 (Reply to resend request), but with sequence number 0 and length == 4. This short length leads to memory corruption later on when processing the packet: alac_decode() expects at least 16 bytes for AES IV. Therefore the segfault.

This fix ignores packets with length < 16, as seen in another implementation here:
http://fossies.org/dox/mythtv-0.25.1/mythraopconnection_8cpp_source.html#l00555

Please be aware that this just fixes the segfault. The suspicious packet seems to be an information of an out of sync situation, so it may deserve further attention.
