So, Paul, I will explain this to you one last time.

Remember high school, when you had math test, and if you just gave the
result you got almost no points even if the result was correct? That was
because solving a math exercise is not just about finding the result, it
is about showing how you reach the result and proving that the result is
correct.

The same goes here. On your own projects, you can change randomly the
code until a bug is no longer triggered and call it fixed.

But in FFmpeg, you are not alone, and when a change is not trivial you
have to prove to your fellow developers that it is correct and
necessary.

So get to work, produce that proof, re-submit the patch with the proof
in the commit message, and then we can talk.

As it is, the need to switch buffersrc to activate is not established,
and therefore it should not be done.
