I think the idea is to explicitly say that there is a 64 bit codec package and at least for real there is no need to compile a 32 bit MPlayer (probably the 32 and 64 bit codecs also have the same name which makes things even more confusing, so it might be worth saying that they aren't the same despite the same name). _______________________________________________ MPlayer-DOCS mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-docs
