	Well, I was merely supplying native support. You should be the judge
as to whether you think yours are better. I'll provide links to the
source code of ours.

	The patches for mplayer follows

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/mplayer/files/patch-libmpdvdkit2-bswap.h

	The source code to our native byteswap code lies at

	I did send patches to the FFmpeg bug tracker in sourceforge
as well.  Should I have contacted them in any other way?
