here i am too :-)
my problem was/is the spare time to do it. thank you, arpi, for have done this vf... :)
i was using a little hack that appeared on this list time age, but never had the time to recode it as a filter...
tonite i'll look at this vf_ patch, if someone could tell me how to call correctly a libav* function, if there's a way adopted in other parts of mplayer code, i mean, maybe there's a mplayer standard, so i don't want to break it a lot... if not i'll write as i know :)
