Yeah, this project is getting way longer than I expected. With how many watchers BUG-9127 has, I'm surprised there aren't more people floating around asking and/or "asking" everyone to hurry up... but on the other hand, nobody linked this MR in that bug, so they won't know anything's going on until Alexandre closes bugs fixed in 8.20.
Bug 9127 is a bit of an odd case.
Many applications want to decode MPEG-1 video but use high-level autoplugging to do it. Historically, we had an MPEG-1 parser in tree that only supported audio (and printed a FIXME for video), and did not rely on GStreamer, as well as the generic decodebin-based parser. This meant that anyone without a functional GStreamer installation would see that message, assume that our MPEG-1 parser needed to support video, and the bug would get resolved as a duplicate.
Vanishingly few applications actually manually instantiate the MPEG-1 parser, so once we removed the in-tree MPEG-1 parser (well, rewrote it to use GStreamer) and started telling people to fix their GStreamer installations, those reports stopped contaminating bug 9127.
To add to the lack of interest, `winetricks quartz` will work around that issue anyway.
