[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Latest CVS Theora update and about Tremor

Huh? I didn't notice that there are multiple interfaces. Except if you
mean direct access to codec and access via libogg.
I'm against doing codec related stuff via libogg, which is a demuxer thing,
esp. that mplayer g2 doesnt have/need libogg at all.
