Hmmm. The whole libcss.so and fibmap_mplayer.c stuff was written by me. Yes
I can remove it. Is it still useful? I don't think so. Maybe just for a
single and very rare situation: you have an encrypted VOB copyied to your
harddisk, and you want to play it AND you know the key which can specified
with a command line switch in this case (but in this case there is no need
for fibmap IOCTL). However I don't think so that it's an overused feature of
mplayer nowdays :)
