Message on mplayer web-site:
"A message from the creator of MPlayer, Arpi:
Hi,
It was exactly 10 years ago, that I've released first MPlayer version, v0.01: http://
I want to thank you all for the contributions, patches, bugs, docs, testing etc. Especially Michael Niedermayer, Fabrice Bellard and Nick Kurshev, who made it to be the best & fastest open-source player!
>>>And sorry Nick, I made a big mistake rejecting your multi-threaded patches. Unfortunatelly your idea came too early, nobody (at least me) thought that desktop PCs will ever have multiple CPUs... and now that even cheap notebooks and netbooks have multi-core CPUs, it would be very useful for HD playback...<<<
Also special thanks to Gabucino, Pontscho and LGB, for your support in the early days, when everybody thought i'm mad, working on video player for linux...
A'rpi
ps: Albeu, i'll never forgive your playtree patches :)"
So, there is any movement to accepting Nick pathces to upstream mplayer?
