I can't imagine a stub helping this situation. Important problem here is to have an ability of using both software and d3d path in such decoders.
We only have "software" path going through gstreamer, and no dxva/d3d11/d3d12 video decoding capabilities. We would want d3d path too for other reasons as well, but it's a question of how to integrate that nicely.
Well at the moment it just prevents errors from happening when CEF and Chromium-based browsers, like Microsoft Edge, attempt to load a non-existent msmpeg2vdec file. For Photoshop, it can load either an mp4 or a webm. For the former, this file prevents an error which should make it fallback to webm and I believe webm plays fine in Wine.
Perhaps in the future when dxva decoding is implemented this dll will work similarly to the native version.
