Again, at what cost?  We have a patch proposed that fixes a real flaw
(mp3 sounds bad in Wine.)  You all are asking Aric to do more do
address flaws that are inconsequential, in my opinion (it takes more
disk space than it needs to) or only theoretical (the new code might
contain as yet unknown vulnerabilities.)

As always, patches talk louder than emails.
