I don't have a Au1200 thus cannot say anything about the MAE,
but the Au1550 i work with has a few very nasty, not well documented
bugs.

> I read some of the posts on same subject of providing MAE support to MPlayer on this SoC.  In one of the posts you have suggested to use the same infrastructure as in dxr2/3 cards.

Would make sense, although i wouldnt call it an infrastrucutre.

BTW: as HW accelerators are getting more and more common, how
about building an abstraction layer within MPlayer to handle this?

Everything is possible, but i cannot say whether it is feasible for you.

Yes.
