Indeed it is, thanks.

Thanks to Dominik, Nicolas and their predecessors for the main
mplayer
spec, on which these builds are based. Please let me know if you're
interested in this work, guys.
I definitely am. If you post (or send to me) self-contained patches
against the current rawhide packages then I would look at them.
For now, I'm keeping the necessary
support packages - libva, libvdpau, vdpau-video - in the repository
along with the mplayer builds. I have libva up for review in the main
Fedora repos at the moment, and I know libvdpau is hung up in review
hell while the powers that be decide whether it can go into Fedora or
not. Once that gets into a repository, we could certainly build the main
mplayer package with VDPAU support at least, since that was merged into
mainline mplayer months ago.
Definitely. I had requests for including this in the packages before,
but I didn't have time to look at that yet.
Once libva gets in, we could build with
VAAPI support (though I suppose we might want to wait until upstream
accepts the patch).
If we weren't so close to beta then I would accept a patched MPlayer
package, hoping that the patch would go upstream before beta, but right
now I consider it F13 material.
The multi-threading stuff is still fairly
experimental, though, I believe.
Right. We can think about it for F13 soonest.
Regards,
R.
