beginners, BTW.

Just to clarify: I share some of evil's ideas but not all and not for
the same reasons. As I said in a previous mail, we are at a turning
point and need to reevaluate (not necessarily change) past decisions.
The documentation improved by style conventions, but that's only
partially comparable to the rest of MPlayer. That was my 2¢, I'm out
of the discussion.
