there was no delay. I was being impatient, sorry.

I think the three patches are more or less out of question. The first
one is fixing an obvious packaging error, and the third one is already
applied upstream. I am not that sure about the second one, though, and
would rather like to wait for the outcome of the upstream bug report
that Sebastian filed at https://bugzilla.libav.org/show_bug.cgi?id=850 .
If this does not turn out any result in time, I think falling back to
generic C-code is always a valid alternative, though.

Sure, there aren't many user affected by this bug. Only those running
arch i386 on a system that realy is a i586 or less. Bot for those users,
the bug is fatal.

Thank you!
