You aren't bond to change networks and join openprojects..it's just a possibility.
The main developement platform was, is and will be the mailing list(s).

I've never seen splits there, also there could be splits fewer than on ircnet
(smaller network, but, these numbers are speaking themselves:
-:- [local users on irc(1595)] 30%
-:- [global users on irc(2612)] 48%
-:- [invisible users on irc(2790)] 52%
-:- [ircops on irc(37)] 1%
-:- [total users on irc(5402)]
-:- [total servers on irc(28)] (avg. 192 users per server)
-:- [total channels created(2245)] (avg. 2 users per channel)
-:- Current local  users: 1595  Max: 2641 
-:- Current global users: 5402  Max: 8575 
)

Yes, #mplayerdev @ ircnet is the hungarian dev channel, and will be that forever.
#mplayer on ircnet isn't supported :(
