Ernie, I have been on the vlc-devel mailing list for the past six years.
I have never header of HIPAA.
You need to understand that the VLC developers, including myself, are hobbyist
programmers, not public contractors. Frankly, I find it surprising that you
expect us to have a clue on health care sector IT standards. We make no money
from this, so it is only fair that we decide how much and on which features to
work.
If you have specific requirements as regard the VLC media player, you are
welcome to submit patches to the vlc-devel mailing list. Or you can contract
someone to do it for you. Needless to say, this will probably cost.
As for Ubuntu, it ships VLC media player in Universe. You probably know
it means there is no support promise. I am sorry that it is this way,
but that's Ubuntu's decision and I doubt the situation will change. And
so, Ubuntu does not invest in VLC media player development. Thus, Ubuntu
users have to rely on the upstream VLC developers, which brings us back
to my previous point.
Coming back to the bug report, I have to say it's confusing. The
original report says that VLC should not inhibit PM during playback if
the corresponding option is disabled. But now, you're implying that it's
inhibiting PM even when not playing back, which should really never
happen. Those would be totally different issues.
