yes, i'm interested! implement it, and we'll see how usable.
i have a stream where both mplayer and xine selects the worst bitrate
(33kbit or so - imagine the quality - it looks like a very broken vcd)
while aviplay selects the best one. some people reported that my and xine's
asf codec(!) is buggy and results in broken image :)
