I thought I did that, but I agree after re-reading the mails that "more openly"
would have been possible.

I found one occurrence of a whitespace ending between three and four and one
additional yesterday: I didn't know how to find them with grep, I tried
grep ' \n'.

I found two occurrences of indentation issues since round four (and fixed
several before).

The file has several hundred lines, I ran through it to find those issues
between every iteration.
Since I except the file to need many non-cosmetic fixes until improvement, I
definitely did not spend maximum time on it (but I did spend time on those
cosmetic issues).

It seems I missed the ispell part.
Apart from that, if you find those issues, I still find it makes much more sense
to point to them (exactly): They are fixed MUCH faster like that (and I do mean
accumulated time), imo.
Other than that, to point out indentation problems in an mplayer patch is
extremely near to pick on somebody giving the current indentation in many files.

Except for one very helpful review, I had the general feeling that the patch is
simply unwelcome.

Thank you, Carl Eugen
