Is it possible to create an NSData object from a dispatch_data_t?

I'm interfacing to a 3rd party library that returns only a dispatch_data_t 
object. Once upon a time you could simply cast that to (NSData *) and work with 
it that way, but Xcode now flags it as an error:

    dispatch_data_t data_t = BGRequestSidebandDL(channel);
    NSData *nsdata = data_t; <<<

    >>> Incompatible pointer types initializing 'NSData *' with an expression 
        of type 'dispatch_data_t' (aka 'NSObject<OS_dispatch_data> *')

Nor can I do this:
    NSData *nsdata = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:data_t length:size];
because I don't know the size of the dispatch_data_t returned to me.
 
Thx,
-Carl
