Slated to be merged in short time, you'll get it in the next mplayer snapshot (that's more or less due few weeks) Some useful information while I'm at it: - Do not attach anything in binary form on bugzilla - patches uncompressed are handled quite nicely by bugzie - Gentoo usually tries to work closely with upstream - If is something on the developer ml/bts (and is mplayer or ffmpeg or xine in particular) -- We know about it already -- Probably it will be provided quite soon in the next snapshot - If isn't and isn't gentoo specific -- We'll ask to post it on the upstream ml/bts -- We'll try to push it upstream asap if is something important/useful That said, thank you for you input, I hope to provide an ebuild for advanced subtitles, dvdnav and enca within the limit of tolerable (weeks, not months).
