@KRA77:
Yeah, we pulled in the API change, as you can read in wsnipex anouncement: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1205370
(Following is my personal opinion, not speaking for our xvba team)
The goal is to get that code in of course. But to be honest - it does not matter that much for me personally. XVBA was a great experience, learning a lot, meeting interesting people and so on. Openelec 2.0 and Openelec next will ship with this code - so it is working really great and a huge userbase has tested xbmc + those patches, no question.
The changes are quite intrusive and when working on a huge codebase (xbmc) there have to be reviews. There have to be PRs in small parts. Some things go fast - others don't, others are ignored :-)
Several coreparts are already on their way (in?) - PRs have been made. Some are untouched, uncommented there since weeks / months.
I hope the best and use the time in between to help doing what was intended: Give the best out of the box experience when using xbmc especially on AMD hardware running linux.
