Ok, no problem. Btw this list was created today :)

Some months ago all the mplayer developers were from Hungary, and some of
them doesn't speak english good enough. Including me :(

About half of mplayer code is "stolen".

Yes, mplayer is very stable playing bad and strange sterams, because I wrote
the stream parser/demuxer from scratch, using very bad, damaged streams
for testing. AVI is the hardest thing... it's far from its original
fileformat standard, and every encode uses different tricks. Also, A-V sync
isn't correctly solved.
