There are no official rules for patch submission. I like to
see patches 
on the list rather than hidden in the bug tacker. However it
might be a 
good idea to add patches to the bug tracker in addition to
sending them 
to the list so they are easier to find later.

It looks like your patch was in line with what I prefer
personally. Add 
-p to your diff flags and it's perfect

I think historically we have been a little slow to respond
to some 
patches, and others may have simply fallen through the
cracks. If 
nothing happens for a week or so, it's usually a good idea
to ping the 
list.

Your patch is against df_xine which means it's up to Claudio
Ciccani to 
review. Let's give him a little more time...
