Sure, that's definitely another thing to consider. The last few changes
to strmbase that I submitted were in the interest of allowing this patch
to work, but they were also based on the MSDN documentation for CBasePin.

Obviously Wine's strmbase can't be really compatible with Windows',
since the latter is exclusively C++. But I have no idea whether
following the documentation is something we should try to do, or whether
we should just abandon it and try to write code that works best for
Wine. Nor do I know that there would be any major differences in these.
So if anyone has input on this question as well, please don't hesitate
to speak.
