building LibreELEC - how to apply patch?

I'm building LibreELEC in a ubuntu 22.04 docker container. I placed my patch in:

"./packages/mediacenter/kodi/patches/aesinkalsa-fix.patch"

I cleaned the build with:

"make distclean"

and start building with:

"PROJECT=RPi DEVICE=RPi5 ARCH=aarch64 make image"

and i think my patch is ignored somehow. I placed a log msg in the patch "CLog::Log(LOGDEBUG,"CAESinkALSA::PATCH_APPLIED");" but i can't find it in the logs.

thank you for helping
