Looks interesting, one question, though: You have step by step
instructions there for making mplayer run with your extensions, but
why don't you simply make a patch and provide it there?

Could you test again with latest CVS?  We're now using the cinepak
decoder from libavcodec and our native one will be dropped soon.
Maybe it does not have these problems.

You should make that patch with "diff -u" to get a unified diff.  It's
much easier to read.
