Done. Here is the revised patch, please take a look whenever is convenient.

I have a few small question though -
What happens when a patch gets applied ? Is it mirrored on Github or just on the original git repository in ffmpeg's site?
Also, if patch fixes a known bug in the tracker, who's responsibility is it to close it ?

Thanks,
Eli
