yeah, much better idea, the mailing list should not be in WWW, only in
TFM, so it can only be known by those, who RTFM (or at least know how to
search ;-))

the name could be mplayer-advanced at ...

and I think there should also be some rule, that you have 3 abuse
chances (mean: like writing rand 'bout compilers again ;-)) after which
you will be banned ;-)

yeah, that also is an option :-)
