[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] ppc jumbo patch

[Magnus Damm]

Hi guys,

Great thing that you are working on more Altivec optimizations.
However, my cvs version of mplayer is now crashing when I play DVD:s.
avi files still work ok. I guess that a52 is to blame...
I'd love to help you out but I have no time right now, so just consider 
this a quick complaint. =)

I run Gentoo Linux on my G4 Cube. 

Thanks!

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: uninit_acodec
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
