Yup, it was.

it didn't get the FAQ rank yet, maybe it should.

kind of, there are going to be few threads, but that's not going to
actually use SMP power - main decoding thread stays on one processor, so
there will be no signifficant gain.

IIRC it was lack of hardware ( can you donate some SMP machines? ), time,
and lack of interest - SMP machines are mainly servers or high-end
worksations thus either don't need mplayer or are powerfull enough to cope
with playing video with one CPU.
Hmm, it would be neat if say, post-processing could be done on second CPU,
 btw, when search is active check Playstation2 port discussion.
