Support for binary codecs MUST be present but it MUST NOT result in a hard
dependency on a binary codecs package. MPlayer is fully functional without
external binary codecs. If you package binary codecs yourself, package the
essential codecs package, not the all codecs package.
Bitmap fonts are deprecated, don't package them. Use TrueType fonts instead.

If you patch MPlayer, send your patches to us! We will try to integrate them.
Furthermore, we're often able to come up with a cleaner or more general
solution to your problem.
If you should modified configuration files or similar, please patch the
official one instead of copying it into your package. This way you will
automatically pick up changes we make to it.
