Thanks for the feedback.

Grepping around in vlc, I couldn't find a single instance where
INT64_MIN is used to initialize an mtime_t. The commonly used
integers seem to be 0 and -1, and now that I know that mtime_t is
signed, I prefer -1 as well.

I also realized that the second chunk of my patch shouldn't be
necessary. Attached is an updated version that only contains
the first chunk and initializes with -1 instead of 0.

Does this address your concern about simplicity, or do
you still prefer INT64_MIN?
