the -advusers list is hidden because really no one uses it. some devs
arent even subscribed. to make it clear: everyone should be using
-users list. the docs need to be updated if it is causing confusion.

yes, its rare to see a forward on mplayer-dev-eng. but many developers
create new emails when sending to mplayer team. we appreciate less
cluttered or quoted bugreports and/or patches.

thanks for your bugreport.

please allow our team of volunteers to review your report within a week
before reposting or forwarding/crossposting to another list.

mencoder-users is the right list for bugreports, mplayer-dev-eng is for
patches.

please let us know.
