It is a technical bug that nobody has (yet) fixed.  It is also more 
difficult to me to test it, since I must install non-free software on my 
machine (I am not yet expert in chroot, virtual boxes etc.)

Now, after looking again at the bug, I think that maybe the crash I had 
after applying the involved patches had nothing to do with h264, but 
with software acceleration.  I will give it a try again, maybe h264 
works after applying the two patches.
