MPlayer needs to be fixed, though it's in the same boat as transcode ... it's a release candidate plus a patch level. Multimedia apps are infamous for rarely having releases, so we are stuck with SVN snapshots. What we really need is a suffix for RCS systems, since that's what they really are. However, if anyone has any suggestions for naming schemes in the meantime, I'm all ears. Steve -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
