-Known bugs:
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Special system/cpu-specific bugs/problems:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1. SIGILL (signal 4) in draw_frame, on P3 (mostly with 2.2.x kernels):
-  Problem: movups is crashing in libvo/fastmemcpy.h
-  Workaround:  ./configure --disable-fastmemcpy
-  SOLVED: disabled SSE code in fastmemcpy.h ;(
-
-2. No image (black image) in RGB 15/16bpp (x11,dga,fbdev,svga) playing
-  MPEG or OpenDivX files:
-  Problem: gcc 2.96 bug
-  Workaround: ./configure --disable-mmx, or use gcc 2.95.x
-  SOLVED: code fixed
-
-3. SIGILL (signal 4) or other fault at loading l3codeca.acm:
-  Problem: shared libs are loaded to 0x00xxxxxx instead of 0x40xxxxxx
-  Workaround: mplayer -afm 1 ...
-  SOLVED: you are using some security kernel patch, like OpenWall etc.
-
-4. SIGILL (signal 4) on P3 using 2.2.x kernels:
-  Problem: kernel 2.2.x doesn't have proper (working) SSE support
-  Solution: upgrade kernel to 2.4.x
-  Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse
-
-5. General SIGILL (signal 4):
-  Problem: you compiled and run mplayer in different machines
-    (for example compiled on P3 and running on celeron)
-  Solution: compile MPlayer on the same machine where you will use it!
-  Workaround: ./configure --disable-sse etc. options
-
-Various A-V sync and other audio problems:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files):
-- audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)
-  Workaround:  mplayer -abs option
-- slow machine (cpu or vga)
-  try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver:
-  Workaround: buy a faster card or read DOCS/VIDEOCARDS about how to speed up
-  SOLVED: try -framedrop
-
-Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files:
-- bad file (please upload the file, so we can check & fix)
-  Workaround: -ni or -bps option   (for non-interlaved or bad files)
-              -mc 0   (required for files with VBR audio)
-              -delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay
-- your soundcard doesn't support 48Khz playback
-  Workaround: buy a better soundcard... 
-              or try to decrease fps by 10% (use -fps 27 for a 30fps movie)
-- slow machine
-  (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)
-  Workaround: -framedrop
-
-After many > or ^ (fast forward) audio vs. video is going out of sync (ASF/AVI)
-- bug in mplayer code (a-v sync probs after seek... not really bug but
-  my avi/asf seeking code is not perfect yet)
-  Workaround: -bps
-  SOLVED: code fixed (but -bps still can help)
-
-Signal 11 in decode_audio:
-- mp3lib doesn't handle (yet) well bad/broken audio streams
-  Workaround: -afm 4
-  SOLVED: fixed mp3lib, it must be rock solid now!
-- if it's still bad, try with -nosound  [and report the bug, see BUGREPORTS]
-
-No sound at all:
-- your file uses an unsupported codec
-  Workaround: read DOCS/CODECS, and help us adding support for it
-
-Video-out problems:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet)
-supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work.
-Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.
-
-OSD/sub flickering:
-- x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now
-- xv driver: increase number of buffers in libvo/vo_xv.c, and recompile all
