[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Frame stepping (i.e. seeking while paused)

[Shachar Raindel]

Here is an improved version of this hack, even uglier one, but this
one handles seeking in MPEG 1/2 streams (the original patch has
serious problems with these streams), and allows stepping forward the
stream in 3 frames each time (and keeps A/V sync when the pause is
released). I think it should be canidated for the ugliest patch of the
month competition, but it is really really cool....

BTW, my havely modified tree contains, at time being, a nice looking
patch for realtime priority under linux, and a really really ugly
patch for variable playback speed, with minimal distortion to the
sound. I will send my tree if anybody has the time to cleen these
patches and import them to the CVS... Sadly, I don't have time to
clean them up....

  Cheers,
  Shachar
