TODO:
=====

Post-0.90 / CVS CLEANUP work:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- maybe remove .raw font support too
- remove -vf yuy2, yvu9
- maybe upgrade to liba52 cvs & merge in (or redo?) the asm optimizations
- change build & install stuff (cross-lib dependency etc)
  - re-design makefile dependency system
- we should switch to the patch tracker (roundup)
- fix & apply the delayed patches:
  - MPlayer-0.90rc2.rawyuv.diff - raw YUV (I420) video 'encoder'
    (checks requires for stride==width, and aligned planes)
  - of-raw-1.diff - raw audio/video stream dump 'muxer'
  - bte.diff - something input plugin (uses fork() )
  - lavc_statsfile_errorchecking-patch - handle errors writing to logfile
  - xine-lib-cvs-xvmc.diff - XvMC support for libmpeg2 0.3.x
  - fastermemcpy.diff - cacheline-size dependant optimizations
  - fire-x86-runtime-options.diff - en/disable (force) cpu features runtime
    (needs to be integrated with --runtime-cpu-detection en/disabled modes)
  - mga_vid_laced.diff - buggy interlace support into mga_vid
  - patch_sortsub_disable-1.3x.diff - remove --disable-sortsub
  - mplayer-0.90rc3-fixfbdev.patch - ugly hack to fix multiple file & -vo fbdev
- fix locale problems (add common float parser / mp_sscanf())
  maybe use Albeu's new filter args parser hack in all filters, remove sscanf()
- new demuxer layer - at least modularized...
- review and implement draw_slice() support in video filters

FOR THE NEXT RELEASE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- fix vo_svga vs. -vf scale - DONE?
- Re: [MPlayer-cvslog] CVS: main/libvo vo_vesa.c,1.82,1.83
  This patch makes mplayer unusable in console mode, always leaves the 
  console in graphic mode.
- Dec 19: [BUG] mencoder+mp3lame creates desynced AVI (<=22Khz support missing)
- check files at FTP/incoming/!to_be_fixed/*
- fix partial -dr + ffmpeg + B frames (different stride per frame)
- implementing 8bpp support in vo_x11.c
- cleanup qtaudio/qtvideo (move globals to context)
- cleanup DMO interfaces
- fix AVI index offset base position handling ('no video stream found' bug)
- Update GUI code to support gtk 2.x (any volunteers??? we really need help here)
