Apparently youre using the Marrillat packages, right? I noticed the same thing and then I ask him why SSE was disabled, he answered me that it possibly increase the number of crashes of mplayer at the moment and that it would probably not give an speed increase when playing or encoding. You can it a whirl if you want by downloading the sources packages and modifying the building scripts. I tried to do so but the packaging of mplayer done by Marrillat is extremaly complex as it check what's installed on your computer to determines how to build the packages... Personally I am fine with it and I trust his decisions. At least it works like that and does it well. -- Brice Méalier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux user nb. 372699 Debian GNU/Linux testing ----- "Unix IS user friendly, it is just selective about who his friends are" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
