Are you perhaps responding to the mplayer developers being kinda
snobbish?  Those guys have a deserved reputation for bitching about
unsupported 'crappy' distro's and compilers and being jerks about it at
the same time.  But this guy, (Marillat) just put out some nice deb's.
I don't think (s)he's under any obligation to make packages for other
package management systems.

No, I'm not ungrateful for their work, but they (mplayer developers)
*do* qualify as snobs!

BTW, mplayer isn't /that/ hard to build from source any more.  Although
it does take some editing of the Makefile if you're using an
"unsupported / crappy" compiler.

Also, freshrpms.net has some rpm's for mplayer (and other stuff
too)  

And thanks for the pointer, Mr. error.  It's nice to have a .deb feed for
this stuff!  Mplayer is very cool software!
