[meta-freescale] GstVolume with dizzy is not working when changing to a value inferior to 1

[scerveau]

Dear all,

Here is the patch who can be merged in meta-freescale concerning 
gstvolume.c in gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
I guess this patch should be merged in poky and not in meta-freescale 
seen that the bug is also on raspberry pi 2 by example.

A bug entry has been submitted to gcc bug tracker system:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65325

Best regards.

Stéphane
