I reply to myself (even if it's Reimar's reply) as I had problems with my mailer yesterday
and thus, only was able to read your reply through devlist archives.

Anyhow, what do you suggest to do then ?
When not cast, MPlayer crashes.
This piece of code was taken from latest xine-lib, only adapted to MPlayer's API.
But the algorithm/way_it_is_done behind isn't mine.

Just tell me how to solve the dilemna and I'll update my patch.
