Hello MPlayer-dev-eng,

first of all I'd like to thank you for the great job
you do.

I am writing you to spot a little problem with mplayer
-tv on FreeBSD.
The problem and the solution are described here :
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2003-December/019496.html

by Simun Mikecin. The problem is 

"Version 0.92 of mplayer uses float type variable as
an argument to
METEORSFPS ioctl (which sets the frame rate).  But
that ioctl actually expects u_short."

Solution is simple so i will not send you a patch(the
one in the URL will not apply clean)
just truncate the float before passing it to the
METEORSFPS ioctl in tvi_bsdbt848.c.
I hope I'm helpfull.

Thank you

 Nickolay
