Exactly the case! We are not Mplayer developers, we are Mplayer users, i.e.
we are intended to use the mplayer! Not to develope the mplayer. Otherwise I

could but I have to do my own development for the project I am working on at
my company. So there is no time left. At least for the moment. But who knows
in the future!...
