	Well, I have one (in fact, two) videos encoded MSMPEG4V1/2
	that were not playable without this patch and now, with it,
	they are.

	I have no idea if they were generated with ffmpeg or not, but
	I'd guess that they weren't, given the site where I got them
	from.

	In any case, I think that with this patch, at least the xine
	glue to ffmpeg would be one step closer to being correct and
	it would be worth to have it in the tree.

	That way, should any problems get discovered, it will be only
	a matter of updating ffmpeg later.

	Oh, that would be quite nice. I was scared at first of
	upgrading xine's support of ffmpeg, which I was the reason I
	asked here first. Good that you updated it. :-)

	Anyway, it seems that ffmpeg is making quite some progress and
	judging from comments from their CVS, it may now play even WM1
	files, which is a wonder, given that people without x86
	platforms would be able to play yet another bunch of files. I
	hope that xine 0.9.12 (not 0.9.11) gets this newer update. :-)


	Thanks, Roger...
