VLC upstream has not approved any patchset on top of VLC 2.2, and the upstream 
solution is very far from trivial to backport.

At least, all the patches for VLC 2.2 that I´ve seen proposed are all known 
broken. That is to say that they do fix the symptoms, but they introduce even 
worse problems that _will_ break VLC for other people.
