IMHO 1/sec, its simpler

#mplayerdev or #mplayersux? iam asking cuz IMHO development related things 
should be disscussed on the earlier, where the logs get posted to 
mplayer-dev at mphq

btw, i guess i also should mention that iam appearently not subscribed to 
mplayer-flame anymore or the #mplayersux logs arent posted there, no i dont 
care at all, iam just mentioning it so noone is surprised, if i dont awnser
