I am not reporting a bug, instead, I am seeking for an advice.

Generally, I need the packages on my system to play well with the
others, therefore using the CVS could be risky and is too much
trouble.

MPlayer seems to be an application and not a library and one would
expect that a distribution constantly has a package with the latest
revision. My distribution does not which means that something's wrong
there. Anybody sees a conceptual problem for a distribution to provide
a static build of the latest MPlayer revision? This could be even
automated.
