I was just reading what's on the donation page, under "The MPlayer Team"

Wishes:

    * Rack-mounted server hardware (1U or 2U)
    * Powerful (non i386+, maybe 64 bit: PPC G4, x86-64) systems for porting
    * ITU/MPEG/IEEE/other subscriptions for better standard compliance
    * Matrox Parhelia cards and/or chip/register documentation

... so if Miklos want to donate a bad-ass AMD-64 or 1U server to
MPlayerHQ, hey, why not? :)
