[vlc-devel] commit: Have (and document) libvlc_media_get_duration return ms ( Olivier Aubert )

[Olivier Aubert]

A remark about this commit: it implicitly breaks the API, as it now
returns media duration in ms while it was previously unspecified in the
doc, and in fact returned microseconds.

However, I do not think that anyone ever used this method (I just did
because I was randomly testing the python bindings), or they would have
asked for the rationale of returning microseconds for this method only,
while all others return milliseconds.

Do you think it is necessary to bump up the API number? There is indeed
an incompatibility introduced here, but maybe a simple notice will be
enough here.
