No. As I said, I'm aware that Gwenolé will have to offer fresh binaries
first. I only approached DMO at the same time as him because I thought
you might need to coordinate something. If not, consider this none of
your concern until a new build is available.

If I understand the situation correctly, the "big patch" approach has
been abandoned as there's little chance upstream will accept those, and
they're not helpful in finding a different solution.

Hopefully, the VLC support works and will be enabled quickly, and I
won't have to care about mplayer dev being sluggish anymore. :-) I
think VLCs DVB support is better than mplayer's, anyway. (I need HW
accel mainly for HDTV at high framerates. The CPU in the machine in
question can handle 1080@24p, but not 1080@50i or 720@50p.)
