There are some fan of tcc (a C only compiler that is blazing fast but 
not for ppc), since it's current limitation it isn't for me (yet), nor I 
have time/skill to port it on ppc...

Please stop saying that C++ is easier to maintain since isn't language 
related but developer related. C++ templates are interesting since you 
offload some computation at compile time, but I'm afraid it couldn't 
help so much in mplayer. In the end, please code nicely crafted C if you 
want to contribute to mplayer and/or please make your media player 
project in C++ to prove that mplayer isn't yet the best coded media player.
