h264parse bug?: Files unplayable in flash because P Slices before I Slice

[Mike Mitchell]

Tim,

Thanks for pointing these out. Reading them it seems a patch has been
proposed that may work for me in addition to closing these 2 bugs. I will
try it and report my results.

This patch was submitted in March. But it seems not everyone is OK with it
dropping some data. The submitter seems to have done what was asked of him
here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/dev/, yet seven months later it
remains open.

What is the political process of getting Developer agreement and making the
fix in the head?

Thanks.
*Mike Mitchell*
