Patches should be gzip or bzip2 compressed if necessary.

    The subject line is very important if you do not want your patch to get
    lost in the noise. We need the uppercase [PATCH] to be able to search
    for unapplied patches, so please use it.
    Do not compress your patch unless it is larger than 80k or if you know
    that your mailer messes up (reformats) text attachments. It only makes
    handling the patch more difficult.
    You have to subscribe to mplayer-dev-eng since we blocked postings from
    non-subscribers after spam problems and because patches get reviewed by
    the developers on the list. We want you to be available for discussing
    your code, you might be asked to make modifications before we accept it.
    Don't worry, mplayer-dev-eng is not high traffic and you can subscribe

    use bzip2 or gzip to compress it, not another non-standard format.
