That is interesting assertion. I have very good experience with vlc here. Did you report your issue to the BTS ? > I do, with mplayer (from Marillat). In fact, I've never felt a need to use these, so I can't comment on these. > I think this is enough reason to include Mplayer in Debian. Are you sure it is not patent encumbered ? Debian is quite a large and attractive target to attack for various infringements. I haven't looked at mplayer svn for quite some time so I can't be sure what the latest developments are. > Another reason is... lots of Debian users download mplayer from > Marillat or other sources (maybe Marillat may provide some stats)... > users are not stupid, if lots of them do an extra effort to get a > program which is not in Debian, you can be sure the program is better > in some way. In fact yes, that was my case in the past. Here is what I've used back then [1], when upstream used to use CVS, thus you might want to adjust that for their SVN now. But since as I already said I'm perfectly fine with vlc and didn't feel the need to use that anymore.
