In Ivan's defense: He wrote another, calmer mail immediately
afterwards.

Also in Ivan's defense: He has been ill during the last weeks and thus
not been able to keep up with MPlayer development quite as much.

understand that not getting reactions to patches is very frustrating.

Now guys, please shake hands and try to find a solution that is
acceptable to everybody.
