[MPlayer-dev-eng] SigmaDesign hardware support

[Julián Nuñez]

Hi Philippe.
I would be interested in the EM8470/EM8471 SDK too, it would be great to 
add support for these chips in MPlayer.
Also, I don't think the newer chips from sigma (ie 8500/8600) differ too 
much from this one, so we can add support for
these too. Afaik those chips are very similar to the 8470, but with more 
features that problably doesn't matter for mplayer.
Is someone working in this already?

Cheers.
Julian.
