[MPlayer-cygwin] libfaad2 vs MinGW

[Diego Biurrun]

Hi!

I just updated the internal libfaad2 with a 2.1 beta CVS snapshot.  It 
has better performance and plays some samples that would fail with the 
2.0 release.  There is a drawback for MinGW users, though: It triggers a 
compiler bug in the gcc that comes with the latest MinGW/MSYS release. 
You will have to update your gcc to get MPlayer to compile properly. 
Fortunately, this is a very easy thing to do:

Grab a gcc 3.3.1 (probably the 3.4.1 candidate will work as well) 
tarball from

http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

and unpack it in /mingw/.  Everything should work then.

Another issue: Currently the following audio only samples fail under 
MinGW (Cygwin and Linux are OK):

It's not related to this upgrade, though.  It works with pre5 and fails 
with current CVS.  Any clues?
