Binary distribution of MPlayer
This was the second big problem but has been solved as of version 0.90-pre1. MPlayer previously contained source from the OpenDivX project, which disallows binary redistribution. This code has been removed and you are now welcome to create binary packages as you see fit.
Another impediment to binary redistribution was compiletime optimizations for CPU architecture. MPlayer now supports runtime CPU detection. Although this implies a small speed sacrifice, it is now possible to create binaries that run on different members of the Intel CPU family. For optimum performance you may wish to disable runtime CPU detection before compilation (configure --disable-runtime-cpudetection).
