This is my last post on the thread, and probably on the debian forums, because as I have said, there is no interest by others (users and maintainers).
Mesa 23.3.5 reached unstable 10 days ago (and 24.0 reached experimental the same day). I waited and waited for it to reach testing, but it still hasn't, so I just let apt install it from there. It still does not solve the issue.
What annoys me is the maintainers' position on the subject, because they said "the bug is solved on v24" and simply closed the bug report. No, "closed" is an understatement here. They simply... swept it under the carpet, and that is for a bug which was rated as serious!
Please note that arch has patched it somehow and that there are some reasons on why it happened on the relevant issue report on mesa's repo on gitlab.
So for someone that does not use experimental, what is left to do other than wait for mesa 24 to reach unstable and testing? I hope it reaches it by Easter. Not the catholic one which falls on the end of March, the orthodox one which falls on early May. Until then, we are stuck to the middle ages of media playback without hardware acceleration. Shame.
