You changed the code here.  The original code would crash if
buf->stream_list was empty.  I don't if that can happen, but I still
consider it a bug fix.

Good job, but next time you mention it in the changelog.

You've fixed a couple of these uninitialized variable bugs recently.
Is this is a clang warning?  GCC doesn't catch it.
