Information on the use of the codecs package on the blfs mplayer page is the first thing to be mentioned. I did some checking on the O4 flag, basically it's the O3 flag but begins hardware specific tuning, IPA and high order transformations. oss may be deprecated in the kernel, but the official project is very much alive, it's free to use, most of it is open, and I much prefer the quality of it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
