Yes, I know. Their failure to address this bug is responsible for vlc being badly broken for a long time now. I would think this an appropriate reason to apply a downstream patch. >the upstream solution is very far from trivial to backport. Yes, I know.

That is to say that they do fix the symptoms, but they introduce even >worse problems that _will_ break VLC for other people. I appreciate what you're saying, but have you examined my patchset? It's not quite the same as any other that I've seen, and I have yet to receive any criticism of it at all. If it will cause breakage, I'd like to know specifically how, so I can either fix it or abandon the effort. I'd hate to think it was being prematurely dismissed. _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
