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 ;-)
