That's a good idea. I'll update the patch like this then.

There are no "leaders" in libav.

But be assured, I am active in libav and I do care about mplayer
compatibility, otherwise I wouldn't submit such patches to mplayer.

As for escape130, I've just submitted the decoder to libav. If it gets
accepted, then I think we've found an acceptable solution.

Cheers,
Reinhard.
