19 Re-emerging it shouldn't make a difference, since nothing can be
20 recompiled or relinked. Mplayer-bin just uncompress the binary package
21 and copies the files to the relevant directories.

23 This is the same problem that arises in binary distros. You can't
24 update a library without breaking your system until someone compiles
25 the relevant packages against that new version of the library.

27 Anyway, why are you using mplayer-bin at all? Mplayer will play
28 using native codecs almost anything. Including wmv9 (non-drm'd,
29 of course) and realmedia.
