The reason I did that was that I was expecting some mess when I finally would have prepared a version of MPlayer linked to external FFMpeg, so a -dbg package would have helped; (and indeed a lot of mess happened) MPlayer 1.0~rc2-15 is compiled with "-g -O2" instead of "-O4 -ffast-math ....". I could reverse this flag now; but note that this flag affects the code of MPlayer itself, not the code in the FFmpeg external libraries (that are out of my reach), and AFAIK that code is much more relevant to speed. The set of flags for compiling ffmpeg is quite messy currently; in one single line of gcc in http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ffmpeg-free;ver=0.svn20080206-8;arch=alpha;stamp=1212572490 I count 4 "-g", two "-O2" and two "-O3" (does this make it "-O2.5" ? :-) > Whatever the reason it makes mplayer unusable for me.

We will place their interests first in our priorities." But in this case other priorities were assumed to be stronger than user's priorities. Unfortunately I was forced to do things this way. No reasoning and not argument was enough to avoid this. a. -- Andrea Mennucc "The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human being who wants me to know what I can do."
