	I think that this project has dies on the Mac side due to the success  
of the VLC project. They both are dedicated to the same thing: playing  
back all of the broken "DiVX" implementations out there. Once VLC got  
most of the codecs that MPlayer had, there was little point in both  
projects being active, and VLC simply beat them out.

	I would expect it to continue on on linux, as that crowd is more  
likely to split attention to multiple projects (for multiple reasons).
