[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1070191: New upstream version 1.24.3

[Guido Günther]

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for updating the package. I saw the notification but didn't get
to check the package in detail.

I intend to use it in livi (this is from C) which (very) recently gained
that ability (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/livi/-/merge_requests/51)
so we'd want the gstreamer plugin as well.

> - Do you need the dmabuf feature ?

Yes, this is needed to get zero copy for hw accelerated video
playback. Although for initial testing of the package that would not be
needed.

> same source) ?

I think that's the bit needed to make use of it from other languages
than rust:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/livi/-/merge_requests/51/diffs#b150b909f5fbd26ccdfcd3165cf0ee05b2760286_1152_1188

(there are more (non rust) video player queuing up to make use of it at
some point).

> to testing.

That's great and already helps! Thanks a lot!

Let me know if you need any more details.
Cheer,
