Hmm.. Seems like they might consider it just noise. By the way, I
discovered today that I had my comm flag settings as "Blank Frame + Scene
change" so I don't know how much your patch affected those. I changed it to
"All" (and enabled experimental speedup, not sure if your patch is related
to that either). I'll give it some more time to work and see how it works.
