I have a new theory about Boots’s car crash of a website.

I’ve become somewhat obsessed with the boots.com website and its endlessly hilarious bad front end. My theory in my last post was a bad or underskilled manager. A bully or an idiot or both.

This is the kind of nonsense that GStreamer has all over it. Tell me how that pointer to a structure (and, yes, it is a structure, with several members) can be described as a stream number.

Not only that, there isn't a stream number in the structure, and it doesn't make sense that this would be called on a per-stream basis anyway.
