I am wondering, wouldn't it be easier to have the individual patches,
instead of one big patch that combines all the XBMC patches?

Also, have those patches been submitted upstream? Why is there an XBMC
patch set, instead of patches submitted to upstream ffmpeg? Can we
expect this patch series to reduce in size over time?
