Actually there is also a bug in 1.0pre6-3.4.2, because it _crashes_
if I try to use -vc ffmpeg12mc -vo xv
or as I have "vc=ffmpeg12mc," in $HOME/.mplayer/config
and I forgot to give -vo xvmc manually. It tries to use default -vo xv
and then happens this:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode_video
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

With -vo xvmc it works without problems, except it is a problem when
trying to use GUI'd one, gmplayer, no MPEG1/2 file will work. So with
gmplayer XVMC seems to be useless feature. Having
$HOME/.mplayer/gmplayer doesn't help, so I guess it is not supported
like $HOME/.mplayer/mencoder is.

Any plans to some day have mplayer to use Getopt::Long and have some
sense to the option jungle mess? 

Or port everything to GStreamer plugins and give up the huge complex 
monolith design scheme? < http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ >
