If you want to try it out yourself, just get a source tarball and fire up your gcc ;-) No, seriously, the tarball supports being compiled into a .deb package and supports many features (css, etc) that will most probably not make it into Debian, even if MPlayer should. So just read the README and give it a try. Don't hesitate to ask me for help if you hit any problems. Regards Diego
