Maybe that was a bit harsh. But even if it does not waste my time in 
measurable quantities, it surely kills my motivation to work on the decoder. 
Don't understand me wrong. I think that it is a good idea to have a common 
coding style for a project with the size of ffmpeg. However I - for the code 
that I am submitting - would prefer it if cosmetic issues are brought up for 
larger patches only at the end of the review phase once the other parts of 
the code are stable. If I spend my time fixing the indentation of code that 
will have to be removed in a different revision, the time is definitly 
wasted.

Thanks.
