We shouldn't include xvid, for there are no reasons to do it.
 - decoding : lavc is faster, _much more_ bugfree
 - encoding : lavc is faster+better

Let's simplify our life.

Yes, no need for separate package. Not if it would be possible.

No GGI needed.

Yes

Let's not include alsa support, alsa's OSS emulation works in MOST of the
cases.

There are much more interesting problems with sound, that aren't solved, nor
worked on. Like, we should use software mixer by default, and control it with
the / * keys, and we should autodetect if 'resample' plugin usage is needed
(saw some i810 mb's lately and they are 48khz-only, mplayer tries 44khz...),
etc.

I don't have lirc. Does it work for anyone? :)

Precisely.

Yes, include support. BTW most users don't need w32codecs by default,
and if they don't know about it, they won't worry about it :)


> NO. If you use --enable-runtime-detection, the code for all of them
Yes, use ONLY --enable-runtime-detection
