hi there since time is running, and the general freeze is coming, I have decided to do some work on this bug
I have packaged a new version of ffmpeg 0.svn6767 ; I have then built a version of mplayer 1.0~rc1-5 that is dynamically linked to that; moreover I have built a version of libxine using the above ffmpeg. I installed all my creatures, and tried totem-xine and mplayer on a few files, and they seem to work. You find them programs at http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/experimental-shared/ (compiled for amd64 ; I will add builds for i386 later) Caveats: 1) many patches from the old ffmpeg 0.cvs20060823-4 do not apply; a few I have corrected, but some I could not , so I have simply disabled them. I really need help from Sam on this issue (maybe some patches are useless with the newer code?) If Sam can review my work on ffmpeg, then we upload all the above stuff into the experimental repo and ask for help in testing it. 2) Diego told me that compiling MPlayer with a shared ffmpeg disables some parts of MPlayer , and makes it slower (we will work on this) a.
