I have to admit that I am quite reluctant to do these things, first
because mplayer already has a long list of dependencies and second, it
takes me longer to test things under the various options and
circumstances.
If there is a *serious* reason to add something, of course I can do
it. In the x264 case, the reason is a tremendous performance increase
by using the ASM stuff.
But for mplayer, only a very tiny fraction of the code actually uses
ssse3. Turning off ssse3 and using the base system gcc does *not*
completely turn off asm optimisation as it does for x264. It still
uses mmx, 3dnow and sse123.
I don't even have an ssse3 machine for testing. Do you have a video
file for which decoding without ssse3 is too slow but fast enough with
it?
