I see your point for the function's "len" argument, but perhaps it's
worth doing

-       int            remaining;
+       size_t         remaining;

        remaining = sizeof(ControlFileData) - mystreamer->control_file_bytes;
        memcpy(((char *) &mystreamer->control_file)
               + mystreamer->control_file_bytes,
-              data, Min(len, remaining));
+              data, Min((size_t) len, remaining));

This is enough to ensure the Min() remains safe.
