[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Network synchronized playback using UDP

[Jason Holt]

I hacked in a simple mechanism to synchronize playback between multiple
instances of mplayer over a network.  The master sends a UDP datagram to
announce its position in the video each time it plays a frame.  The slaves
check to see if they're within epsilon of the master.  If they are, they
just advance by a frame.  If not, they seek to where the master is.

This works out nicely because I can dynamically tweak frame rate, seek and
pause on the master and the slaves all follow along.

The patch is not compliant with your coding standards.  Before I do that
work, I wanted to make sure it's a patch you're interested in, and see if
you have any particular guidance on things I should move or change.
