13 The code you have disabled seems to be comparing color space id values
14 as defined in src/ui/gfx/color_space.h to the equivalent values in the
15 ffmpeg API. I would assume this is because some chromium code uses
16 them interchangeably.

18 What happens if we pass one of those ids to an ffmpeg function that
19 doesn't understand it? I'm afraid this might break in some subtle way.
