Problem with having a devault /etc/mplayer.conf, is that mplayer can |
| 13 |
have so many different setup's. Should it use SDL, OpenGL, X11, XV, |
| 14 |
framebuffer dev,etc for video? And what about sound ? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I am no .ebuild expert, nor mplayer, although it is the video player |
| 17 |
I use by default, but am prepared to hack the mplayer .ebuild a bit. |
| 18 |
All I need is some suggestions as how to handle the .conf file? |
| 19 |

Do we: |
| 21 |
1) look for X in USE, if so make libSDL a required depend and install |
| 22 |
a .conf that use SDL for sound and video (since SDL can make use of |
| 23 |
accel and also autodetect the sound ...)? |
| 24 |
2) if ! X in USE, assume that the framebuffer dev will be used and |
| 25 |
install a .conf accordingly ? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
This is the easiest way of doing it as far as I can see. X11 do not |
| 28 |
give decent output, and determining if OpenGL sould be used, or XV, or |
| 29 |
DGE, etc can be difficult, and since SDL can autodetect this, it should |
| 30 |
make things easier ... same with audio .... |
| 31 |

Some suggestions will be appreciated. |
