Hi,

such mails should go to dev-eng!

no
the only case when it's acce[ted, is when the maintainer/author of a code
part changed indent in his own file.

trivial features and bugfixes accepted
big changes aren't before the release

patches.txt and cvs-howto.txt defines tehse rules

yes, at ftp.mplayerhq.gy samples/

please avoid indent changes.
