Hi!

I have suggestion regarding latest version of MPlayer.

You add freely 128 K to stack without making sure there is such space.

Some glibc come with smaller thread stack. Many apply patches, like
our patch that reduces stack size.

Therefore I sugest that in your init code, you use this:

  (void) pthread_attr_init(&thread_attrib);
  pthread_attr_setstacksize(&thread_attrib,1024*1024L);
  pthread_attr_setscope(&thread_attrib, PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM);


You should of course declare pthread_attr_t thread_attrib as global
variable, and pass pointer to it in each pthread_create, instead of
NULL.

That would make things a bit more stable.
