[MPlayer-dev-eng] wishlist round 0

[Anders Johansson]

Hi,

One comment: I think it should be af and vf rather than aop and vop.

I also have some questions:

> Small improvements:
> 
>  * specify suboptions in a config file without breaking playback (use
>    channel 21 if using -tv, same idea for -vop, -aop, etc...) 

Does this mean changing the settings in the config file during playback?
 
> Cleanup:
>
>  * modularize all VOs, AOs, as well as audio/video codecs/filters like
>    vidix drivers; it'd make the main binary smaller and packager's job
>    easier

Does this mean put modules in separate .so files?

> Enhancements:
> 
>  * plugin structure for vop/aop

In what way should the filter structure be changed?

>  * support for VirtualDub and Winamp plugins

I have started to look at Winamp plugins.
