Hmmm like I've written a time ago PLF did make mdk-rpms , so go to 
plf.zarb.org und you'll find them. I didn't know a lot about the qualitity of 
that packages, so maybe it is pretty good to contact the plf-packager of 
mplayer to improve it with the help of that specs, but since mdk and rh 
should be 99% compatible , rh-packages should always run on mdk. 

And I like the unix-like behavior of mplayer . so that I can pipe around and 
nearly all is possible if you use your brain. I don't think newbie-usability 
should be a mplayer feature. 

I think a webboard wouldn't be false for the newbie questions, and in such a 
board a developer isn't needed because the ML here is still there as a 
fallback solution. So newbies can post questions and some advanced users can 
answer it. Maybe it is too a solution, an advanced user can write a script , 
that try to catch the right options for mplayer ( like search if xv support 
is there, how fast is the machine and do the right options in the .conf  )
Just a few thoughts of me ...
