you must be confused. the patent problems are only affecting the opendivx
codec. I spoke with the maintainer about this problem, the opendivx codec
is just not going into the mplayer package. the program itself is GPL
regarding the technical issues, the main problem was that mplayer uses
higher CPU optimizations on compilation. This can be solved by including
a part of the sources in the binary package and building them in postinst
or even by building many mplayer-* packages.
this is a hard package, Dariush Pietrzak <eyck@forumakad.pl> has done a
great job making it work. please don't trash it and reassign that entry to
ITP.
thanks,
