Well. I don't know what to think about - but I think You should read it
guys...
It's forwarded from dxr3 mailing list and it is one of the responses for
the mail I wrote to this list and which I will forward You anyway in
another mail...

I'm not offended. What does offend me though is that the xine developers
don't help out in driver development. They don't even seem to care about
recent changes I make which could inprove the dxr3 support in xine as
well. They contacted me once to tell me they borrowed all my code for
mpeg1 conversion because it was much faster, I then asked them if they
could help me in developing the lib to become even better (faster). They
never replied to that mail. My code is gpl, anyone can steal from it and
they won't get in trouble no matter how mad I get. Still, I think they
could have offered to help out, or at the very least have declined.
Instead, I hear nothing from them except for jcdutton who continiues to
talk about how great xine is on the channel even though he seems to know
nothing of the internals of a media player.
Do they even monitor this mailinglist? What if I switch over to using
v4l instead of the current driver implementation (since v4l is
standardized and our implementation is not). Should I have to worry
about breaking xine and getting flamed all over or should I assume that
they monitor this mailinglist even though they never make a peep?

Well, enough rage for one or a few days. I'm glad you are here to stop
me from spewing even more rage birme =3D). I will probably spew rage over
xine again, if not here I will likely do it on the channel. It's just
that I put alot of work into the em8300 project, and they seemingly do
not (a simple mail stating sorry we can't help you because ... would
please me).
I'm getting a cup of tea and will try to calm down. I'm happy not
everyone is so filled with rage as I am.
Happy movie watching to all mplayer and xine users out there...
