[vlc-devel] VLC Lib Media Descriptor Additional Callbacks

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hello Enrique!

Thanks for the patch. I have a comment though. What about sending  
libvlc_MediaDescriptorDurationAvailable instead of  
libvlc_MediaDescriptorPreparsedChanged. It seems a bit more explicit  
to me.

The rest of the patch is fine for me.

Pierre.
