It appears, please correct me if I am mistaken, but I need a so-called
'slave-idle.patch' to enable this functionality? :-)

Please check out this link which appears to be this patch?, 

http://www.itdp.de/mplayer-dev-eng/2005-02/txt00077.txt

There is no extra stuff in this link that isn't part of the patch, 
random characters or whatnot -- this indeed is a full cut-and-paste
patch that can go somewhere? :-) Please help me out. (see below steps I use)

If this is the case, then I am almost home free.  I have actually
gotten pretty good at compiling, and have a full Windows MSYS/MinGW
environment set up.  I have been able to create MPLAYER executables.

I am just not sure how to apply patches.  Could you clear me thru proper
steps to implement these kinds of patches?

I guess I just need to know when is the right time and what special
commands at $ prompt will insert this patch. :-)

<snipped>

For brevity I edited down this walkthru file I created for myself,.... but this is 
where I am installing the packages I would like, then I do a checkout of the core.

When and where would this patch go and how to? ;-)

** 10th Package >> svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/x264/trunk x264

MSYS COMMAND >> cd x264
MSYS COMMAND >> ./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-avis-input --enable-pthread
MSYS COMMAND >> make
MSYS COMMAND >> make install
MSYS COMMAND >> cd

** 11th Package >> live.2005.08.09.tar.gz

MSYS COMMAND >> tar -xvvzf live.2005.08.09.tar.gz 
MSYS COMMAND >> cd live
MSYS COMMAND >> genMakefiles mingw
MSYS COMMAND >> make
MSYS COMMAND >> cd

---------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
NEXT, INSTALL MPLAYER (last version 25197) /// external 11111

MSYS COMMAND >> svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk main
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
FINALLY, BUILD MPLAYER.EXE

MSYS COMMAND >> cd main
MSYS COMMAND >> ./configure --enable-runtime-cpudetection --with-codecsdir=codecs --enable-static --with-livelibdir=/home/Owner/live
MSYS COMMAND >> make

** If everything went well your first mplayer.exe can be found in the main dir now.
----------------------------------------------


BEST REGARDS, SARA
