I just made a small equivalent to the GNU asprintf function (since I suppose it's not available on all system supported by mplayer) in order to use it in a few places instead of fixed size buffers like BUFLENGTH in some vo (jpeg, png, …) and maybe a few other PATH_MAX we were speaking a while ago.
Well, I wonder which case you think is worth the effort. PATH_MAX + stack isn't so great but it's not such a big issue, and actually it may be a smaller issue that using this method and ending up bringing the PC to its knees swapping because someone by accident gave a 2GB file as playlist and MPlayer tries to actually use a 2GB string as file name...
