MPlayer needs to be fixed, though it's in the same boat as transcode ... |
| 18 |
it's a release candidate plus a patch level. |

Multimedia apps are infamous for rarely having releases, so we are stuck |
| 21 |
with SVN snapshots. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
What we really need is a suffix for RCS systems, since that's what they |
| 24 |
really are. |

|
| 26 |
However, if anyone has any suggestions for naming schemes in the meantime, |
| 27 |
I'm all ears. |
