Actually, one person in the team could benefit from a donation: Ivan
Kalvachev, who's in charge of that part of MPlayer, but doesn't have
the hardware to test the unichrome patch and modify it let's hope he
also have the time to work on it too).
You can find Ivan's email address on the AUTHORS file in MPlayer
source tree if you want to discuss those matter in private, but in any
case, Ivan is subscribed to this mailing list, so he should have
already received all the mails of this thread.
