https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfmpc/-/commit/d3430ad60e53ab214428890d34561d026d0b89e4 should be in 0.3.1 at least.

If this is still reproducible, it should be reported upstream. mgorny, can you hit it?

I think the issue is still there, I tried to applied the commits mentioned there, but failed. maybe upstream need to fix them.

This issue is related to this gitlab[\.]gnome[\.]org/GNOME/vala/-/issues/1408 (Sorry it's new account so I can't add URL for 24 hours)

So I think it would be better to just add "-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types" in CFLAGS. Since it's vala application, it's tricky to patch it.
