But it seems a bad idea to just take whatever is available at any point in time and expect you have something solid.Unfortunately, the mplayer/ffmpeg team does not think that regular stable cuts are the way to go. I have recently inquired which revision has now to be used for packaging, since they declare the current stable release obsolete and outdated; the reply I've got on the IRC was basically that anything that gets committed to the SVN is stable and gets better and better every single day, so if I don't like this policy, then I shouldn't be using mplayer at all :-)
Well, I just did something to disprove this, I tried the latest snapshot, newer than rev29417, and it failed with:

A small bump in the road to perfection ? :)
Also it looks like the theme you're bundling is obsolete (1.6 -> 1.7)
and the latest live sources also look convincing (you don't build
against it for some reason?! the condition 0{...} always evaluates to
false for me). Also you need to add new zh (zh_CN) translations to the
help section or the packaging will fail.
I've build now a test package, but I would like some help with the themes as well. Or maybe I just need a new maintainer of the mplayer package. Are you available ? :)
So the SPEC needs an overhaul (compare with the SPEC they bundle as a reference), but if you manage to update it to the latest sources I *might* try to find some time to consider rewriting my SMPlayer patch so that in the end we would have a decent multimedia experience (if there is enough interest...).
Don't doubt there's interest. People are only telling you if something is broken, bet seldom if it works :)
