So far so good, but now that you drove us out of the woodworks, what
alternative API would you like us to migrate to?

This is still work in progress, was planning on submitting it, once
everything stabilized.  But for now, it's much easier to develop it
outside mplayer's svn (where i have no commit access anyways).  Note
that this is not a fork.  It's just a vidix driver, plus a patch to
mplayer to load it from a shared object (so we can package/update it
independently from mplayer).

cheers,

David
