It sounds like it's a design goal of this "wamedia" to _not_ maintain bug compatibility with media players.

I suspect it is actually about maintaining permissiveness for malformed inputs rather than keeping security bugs. I ran into this building ingestion for a print-on-demand service where users upload technically broken PDFs that legacy viewers handle fine. If the new parser is stricter than the old one you end up rejecting files that used to work, which is a non-starter for the product.
