Right now, =20 I'm building 20100131. I used mplayer for years but gave it up =20 because of it not being updated and found other tools that worked =20 better for what I needed although I wasn't as comfortable with them. =20 It looks like I am back to mplayer thanks to your non-trivial work to =20 build the port and the dependencies synchronized and working.
