Thank you for telling me this. I don't know how this patch works, or
how GStreamer works, or how eww works -- that's why I am asking these
questions.
It's not easy to recognize all the questions that need to be asked.
Sometimes I make an assumption without realizing it, such as assuming
that a widget would be handled by telling a window to display it, and
it turns out that's mistaken.

I'm asking the questions that will enable me to understand the
situation so I can tell whether this feature fits the goals and values
of the GNU Project. It is important to recognize situations where a
feature raises doubts, and think carefully about the issue before
installing the feature.
When we neglect to have that discussion in advance, the GNU Project
can drift into a contradictory moral position, and that is very bad.
