Sound good, if others agree as well. Then perhaps you could
"synchronize" the "final" 'MPlayer-1.0' with the next FFmpeg version
(weekend 2009-02-21/22 release)?

This release cycle will make possible for distros to upgrade the
included MPlayer version much faster and completely resolves for
example the VDPAU problem.

Ship 1.0 with VDPAU initial support for example and make it better in
1.1, 1.2 or ship without VDPAU in the beginning (just to synchronize
1.0 with FFmpeg), but add VDPAU in 1.1 or later.
