- Check the actual numerical address,
   instead of assuming that undefined is written down "".
 - Resolve remote peer before messing with sockets, and do it only once.
 - Do not try to connect to remote peer when SSM join succeeded
   (I do not feel like guessing which OSes besides FreeBSD didn't like this).
 - Do not assume that address are in numerical notation for SSM.

- it doesn't work neither on FreeBSD 5.4 nor on FreeBSD 4.11:
      cannot connect socket (Can't assign requested address)

Retain connect() as fallback in any case.

skins2: there's no need to reparent a vout before closing it (moreover setting 0 as the parent does not disable it, as on win32 0 is a valid parent, it's the desktop window)

  (afterall, we could specify a source/server even with ASM)
- Backport IPv6 SSM compilation problem on BSD

vlc.win32.nsi.in: Backport [17860] and [17961] which adds aout, vout and intf shortcuts in Utilities menu on win32.

Backport VLM seek command modifications and compilation warning fixes. Thanks to Igor Helman in the forums who provided this backport patch :)

mozilla: looks like firefox does not dipose of script objects cleanly, which is causing it to reuse them after the plugin has been destroyed 

Detect CD-R and DVD-R mediums

* backport [17802] VLC now requires libmatroska 0.7.7 because from then the libs are pic enabled. 
    (no longer use libmatroska_pic ebml_pic) 
    Patch by Diego Petteno, +additions by me. 

activex: fixed type library crash (this would cause most programming language to crash), IE does not use type library and was immune to this problem
