Yep, 2.3.2 on my end.


Below I see 1.0pre7-3.3.2 - did you mean 3.3.2 not 2.3.2?
Do newer versions do more are or they mostly bug fixes?

It plays pretty well everything that a normal MPlayer build would
(ogg, mp3, XviD)


So mplayer -vc help prints a lot of different things, including DLLs?

MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.3.2 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel Pentium III Katmai/Pentium III Xeon Tanner (Family: 6, Stepping: 3)
Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!
To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection.

Was this detection so that it can be used on various systems?

Is a 486 a good enough low end since that is the target of BL3? You can't play DVDs on a 386, can you?



with the exception that there is currently no X11
video support (and a few other things like no SDL or AAlib, etc.).


AAlib and SDL are not really necessary. But X11 is very handy to have.
Is vesa listed among the "mplayer -vo help" output?

Yep, I compiled in VESA support :)

I do consider something like AAlib or libcaca necessary myself. Also, SDL's sound output I find works no matter what, it's quite good.

What are all of these used for?

The current statically compiled binary size is 7.7MB, uncompressed.

David suggested to me that I use 'strip' to make binaries smaller. Someone else suggested using upx (after strip). Together they cut my binary size by about half.
