yes, this is correct indeed, and I somehow knew that. The thing is
however that the whole IWMMX code that has been taken from mplayer-w100
project has been "blindly" added to the sourcetree without being able to
test it.
That, I think, was most unfortunate, though I prefer to have the code
there in MPlayer/FFmpeg than getting lost. After all, if it's broken,
it's probably easier to fix it rather than to re-develop what has been lost.
