That does seem appropriate. The author is Tobias Diedrich, who was
subscribed to at least MPlayer-dev-eng once upon a time; if he doesn't
speak up here in the next day or so, I'll assume he's no longer
subscribed and will try to contact him to ask about this.

I'm not positive that I didn't have to make some changes to get his code
to compile on my machine, but I can re-determine that one way or the
other if necessary; in any case, all the actual functionality is his.
