"Got unexpected frame size" warning when doing audio/video calls

When I call a XMPP contact using Empathy, stream-engine's log are flooded with this warning: ** (telepathy-stream-engine:22165): WARNING **: bus_async_handler: got warning: Got unexpected frame size of 3838992 instead of 3840000.

It's the driver returning us the number of bytes it captured and that number does not match the number of bytes we expect a frame to be. We emit a warning for this and retry the capture. Normally this only happens for the first couple of frames, with most drivers. Do you have any particular other problem than those few warnings?
