The statement is partly right though. E.g. mplayer svn at some point
defaulted to lavf for mp4 demuxing, which doesn't care for the edit
list atom implementing the start time delay, in nonconformance with
the standard. RC2 on the other hand defaults to libquicktime for
demuxing, which does honor it.

It's one of several issues I ran into with svn. By now, I tend to
advise against using it and rather revert to rc2, if reliable and
predictable behavior is desired.
