Hello, and thank you for getting back to me.

Without this, a lot of wheels do not work with proton and wine and other
software.

A lot of the community is already using this patch or other similar
workarounds.

I can't think of a situation where sending an effect of length zero
would ever make sense.

If you read through the first time I sent this patch you will see a lot
of the research that went into this.
