I have updated a few media packages the past few days and the results

First, THANK YOU. VERY MUCH.
The mplayer we ship is the latest release (which still dates back to
2007). A newer mplayer snapshot is still possible, but I don't track
development and usually I prefer a release over a snapshot.
How about separate {mencoder,mplayer,mplayer-docs}-snapshot packages?
For projects that do releases once in a blue moon, and constantly
recommend users use svn HEAD anyway, it seems like a fair tradeoff.
If a knowledgable user can provide me with the perfect timestamp for a
snapshot I am happy to try and build it. But it seems a bad idea to just
take whatever is available at any point in time and expect you have
something solid.
It's not that I do not trust developers, but I am a sysadmin :)
