I know, not suited for ubuntu.

I'd rather repackage it from scratch, but anyhow, if you make sure that
it won't break unrelated applications, we could *perhaps* consider an
extra mplayer-mt package and mark it as "experimental" on a "as-is"
basis (read: no security support, filed bugs gets closed unread, etc).

no need, I'm aware of the issue, and ffmpeg-mt is likely to cause too
many regressions. it will hopefully be merged for ffmpeg 0.7.

-> sorry, won't get into ubuntu soon.
