The reason why mplayer crashes (in some cases) when using x11 output and -wid (>0) parameter is this: Mplayer by default creates a colormap using DirectColor visual. If the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor visual there will be an error when mplayer sets the colormap for the window. This patch modifies mplayer to use TrueColor visual if the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor. Another solution is to make sure that the window given to mplayer is created using DirectColor visual if it is supported by the display. Jouni Tulkki <[e-mail]>

libmpdemux - MPlayer's input/demuxer layer  (C) A'rpi / MPlayer team
==========================================

NOTE: It is not in the final form yet! API may change...

Stream input layer:
===================
#include "stream.h"

Supported modes:
- file (by 2048 byte sectors) including STDIN (if filename "-")
- VCD disk (by 2324 byte mode2 sectors)
- network (buggy, mpg/avi download-like streaming works, asf not)
- DVD disk using with libdvdread 0.8 or 0.9

Note: optional CACHE layer with read-ahead and seek-back buffer (not finished)

Demuxer layer:
==============
#include "demuxer.h"

Supported formats:
- MPEG (PS,PES,VOB,ES), including VCD disk image files (.ISO/.BIN)
- AVI, with or without index, interleaved and non-interleaved formats
- ASF v1.0 (aka .wmv/.wma)
- Quicktime MOV - including compressed headers, CBR and VBR

Others:
=======
#include "stheader.h" - audio and video stream structs used by header parsers
#include "parse_es.h" - Mpeg ES stream parser

Using it outside of mplayer tree:
=================================
It uses a few things from mplayer tree:
config.h - system-dependent options, see ./configure
mp_msg.c/.h - mplayer's message printing code - copy it or impement your own
help_mp.h - error/info message texts
bswap.h - little/big endian conversion

If you use it in your project - please tell me!
