I believe this would be better described as Uoti Urpala's mplayer. http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2010-May/064672.html 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. Stroller.
