I will test it on F16 , 
but where the all the things, ffmpeg, mplayer etc src.rpm ? 

how I can view list of yours packages in share.ols.inode.at ? , by
date ? 

we need to see what you change (in patches) to approve and commit in a
2nd phase.

So a complete list of what is new or altered patches is also welcome . 

Thanks,
