[vlc-devel] [PATCH] amem: fix integer overflow above 262143Hz

Hello,

I checked the code, I don't think there is a real use of specifying rate and channels size.
Maybe I missed something obvious but why not just remove the size specifier like the following :

 union
 {
 struct
 {
 void *setup_opaque;
 };
 struct
 {
 unsigned rate;
 unsigned channels;
 };
 };
