Ok, let's find out if this code needs changing.

The output buffer size when decoding is determined by
get_read_block_size(), which returns a value corresponding to the read
MTU (the MTU is in the compressed domain, the block size is in the
uncompressed domain).

The input buffer size is potentially up to twice the read MTU.

It doesn't seem impossible that the socket could have more data queued
than just one MTU. Therefore this doesn't seem safe, because
decode_buffer() may overrun the output buffer. The solution isn't to
check to_write, however, because that would lead to some audio getting
dropped. I think the input buffer size should be limited to roughly one
MTU just like the output buffer size is limited to roughly one MTU. The
exact logic is codec dependent, so the codec implementation should
decide both the input and output buffer sizes, and it should be ensured
that the output buffer is big enough to fully decode a full input
buffer.
