[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/2] lib/media_player: libvlc_get_track_description: simplify allocations

[Filip Roséen]

There is no need for the explicit cast, nor do we need to state the
name of the object's type for which we are allocating memory. These
changes should make it easier to read, and maintain, the function.
