Additionally, the default build uses static libraries, and using
shared
libraries appears broken (at least when I tried it). I asked the
mplayer
mailing list for help. I was told flat out that using shared libraries
wasn't supported "here" (the mailing list). I was able to get it to
build
using static libraries, but not in a manner that would pass the sort of
quality control you would want in a RPM package; even if I did, it
would
still be using static libraries.
Fortunately, the current main developer understands the requirements
of the distributions and there is better support for building against
shared FFmpeg.
This is why I was hoping to leverage the experience of the previous
package
maintainer.
The only options I see are to 1) continue my painful dissection
efforts, or
2) switch to something else and abandon mplayer.
Any thoughts on this?
I'll look at it and get back to you.

Dominik
