--- Comment #5 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl --- ,,,
Let me clarify: "that *gstreamer* function was a bit dangerous".
After all, the referenced bug was about unsigned integer overflow - while the values required are quite high, gstreamer team still consider the risk of hitting it high enough to make the change.
Well, 'dangerous' might be a bit strong word, as most likely that would only cause visual glitches...but the key part of that statement is "most likely".
And yes, I see this is more of a wine policy decision than a technical one (at least the way I define those terms). I just consider such policy wrong...but as I have no say in it :shrug:.
