[MPlayer-users] Xcard for hardware MPEG-4 playing

yes :(

about half year ago someone @ sigma asked for permission of using libavifile
for their linux playar at the avifile lists. then we immediatelly asked them
to release a driver or library instead of an avifile-based player, but got
no answer... so maybe you'll get an avifile-based player for linux, or
nothing. specs, drivers can't be expected ;(

anyway, sorry, i have no time nor interest in driver development and RE work
on their cards - if there are already drivers, then i can help in creating
-vo xcard or such thing, but writting the kernel driver without specs is not
in my interest
