That kind-of misses my point though; freeframe is a plug-in format for adding effects to a video input (usually used in live VJ applications). As far as I know, MPlayer doesn't support it, nor would that enable support in any linux VJ'ing software! :) I was simply looking at the possibility of running freeframe plugins compiled under windows, in linux using wine as the middle-layer.
