The process of getting patches into MPlayer is explained in
DOCS/tech/patches.txt. After you have read this file and have submitted
the patch to mplayer-dev-eng, the maintainer of the section to which your
patch applies will accept your patch and put in CVS or (s)he may ask for
changes in and/or clarifications on your patch. (or explain why the patch
is not necessary, has unintended side effects or whatever and will never
be applied despite your efforts)

Greetings,

Rik.
