Hi.

i had to reply to your mail because it made me laugh.

as you probably know there are many forms of subliminal or subconscious 
advertising. from using a pretty girl in a short skirt to sell potato chips to 
having a catchy jingle that gets stuck in your head.

so it would be useful to know which subliminal images you were looking to detect 
and if so, samples of these would be required to build detection for them.

to answer your question: i havent seen any discussion about this on the mplayer 
lists, so i doubt anyone is working on it.
