it does, but it doesn't work yet..
it worked for alex but goth reported kernel mem corruption (resulting ext2
fscked up to dead) by it... so it's not recommended :)
afaik Nick fixed it in mpxp tree, but as he made incomp chanegs it probably
won't work with our code... someone who has access to all kind of vidix
cards should port mpxp's vidix to mplayer...
