This request is tracked in debian as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623737, and upstream at http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/11. Uoti, any progress on that front? Is there anything that would help you with making progress here? -- regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
