I wouldn't say C++ is the wrong tool for MPlayer. We are already
doing quite a lot of object oriented programming within MPlayer
(just think about all the [av][of] modules).

And no, it's not true that C++ has to be slower than C, it
just depends on how well you are able to write C++ and
how well you know what kind of code is produced.
It's just that C programmers think it has to be slower because
it does more.

Full ACK.
