fork. it is not a question.
as you said, it needs big rewrite of a-v sync, libvo, decoding and so on.
and probably never will work with X drivers, as X doesn't like calling from
interrupts.

aviplay2 :)

just a note: fps is not constant. rtfs libmpdemux/video.c
there are lots of problems come with "your" idea.

anyway, i'll continue with current mplayer, implementing direct render for
all codecs and libvo. i don't believe your idea could help so lot. for slow
systems direct render is faster, fast ones are fast enough.
