Documentation Notes
Hi team, Gabucino, a few notes about the current documentation. Under section "2.1.2. Audio Formats": Currently MPlayer is still a Movie and not a Media player, thus the pure audio formats (for example MP3, WAV, audio ASF) are unplayable. This is 100% false now and needs correction before the next official release. Also, the wording of "2.2.1.3. XAnim codecs" really rubs me the wrong way. Any chance we could soften the wording from: Foreword: using (some) XAnim codecs with other program than XAnim, is ILLEGAL. It is YOUR responsibility to read its license, and do accordingly. The authors of MPlayer can't be held responsible for any unlawful act of the user. To something like: Be advised that the XAnim binary codecs are packaged with a piece of text claiming to be a legally binding software license which, among other absurdities, forbids the user to use the codecs in conjunction with any program other than XAnim. As the XAnim author has yet to bring legal action against anyone for codec-related issues, the MPlayer developers don't lose too much sleep over this and you probably shouldn't, either. :) Thanks... -- -Mike Melanson
