How about putting your actions where your mouth is?
Send a patch, or if you are not a coder test and review patches.
Alan Nisota did send patches, but for some reason they were not
accepted. My guess is that the most probable reason is that none of
the developers had enough interest and time to review them. So,
if you desperately want coreavc support, then help developing it.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but i cannot stand people who
just pop out of nowhere and complain that other people don't do
what said guy thinks they should be doing.
