I have not kept up with the mplayer developments.
Now I see: media-video/mplayer2
and media-video/mplayer
Available versions: 1.0_rc4_p20101114
Any quick education on mplayer 2 would be appreciated.
I believe this would be better described as Uoti Urpala's mplayer.

The misunderstanding seems largely that to me - a misunderstanding between the Uoti and
the other mplayer devs - rather than any kind of deliberate aggravation. I suspect that
Uoti's version may well actually be better, but it's not "official" mplayer.
It's official mplayer2 ;-)
