Comment (by Cigaes):
Asserts in code are properties that the programmer expects to be always
true. When they fail, that means something ''is'' wrong. Just removing
them is ''never'' a correct solution: you may be producing invalid results
(and “playsback fine with WMP” is no proof that the result is valid),
allowing a more complex crash later or even creating a security issue. To
fix an assert failure, you have to understand ''what'' went wrong and why,
and fix it.
(Of course, sometimes the assert is really completely wrong, and the
correct solution is to remove it, but only after understanding why; that
is not ''just'' removing it.)
