[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] "frame stepping"

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hi,

I applied it. I correct the manual to say that it steps one frame 
forward, although I didn't really check if its always exactly one frame...

Sorry, but I did it this way because it was a by-product of another 
patch. I don't intend to invest any time on this, and it would cost some 
time to implement this in a way suitable to go into CVS.

Not true anymore...

at least 99% percent sure to never happen I'd say... ;-)
