People really are/were turned off by MPlayer's image.  I've talked to
several such cases.  Interesting was also a talk I had with Reimar and
Alexander Strasser and a German (sorry I forget names so easily) that
had lived in Hungary for several years at the LNM award show.  He told
me he had talked to many Hungarians who used xine because they hated
you personally.

I'm not even judging whether this is good, bad or just WTF, but it IS
a reality.
