Forget it. A lot of people did that before you, including myself and the
only result is "2.96 is shit! Red Hat sucks! Lick my ass you lamer!" all
over documentation and mailing list, and stupid childish barriers during
mplayer compilation. If you really want to get in contact with them, I
urge you to use gcc3 - as it's not (yet) Red Hat's default compiler, they
tolerate it, even though they agree it's buggier than 2.96. Human nature
is weird...
By the way, it was me who fixed that mmx bug in mplayer, the only known
ACTUAL problem with 2.96 (oh, and gcc 3.0 also has it, but that does not
fit their "2.96 is buggy" theory so they silently ignore this fact) -
still they managed to completely misrepresent it, the FAQ entry about 2.96
is a plain lie - in their favour of course.
Or just use avifile. I'm not familiar with it though, but I hope the
developers are not as arrogant.
