I was kind of surprised when I find out that mplayer in i686 repository is not compiled with vdpau,
since it is in x86_64 repository,
I know I could enable vdpau easily by compiling the package myself,
but wouldn't it be even better if it is built-in in the official binary?

Because not everyone has a capable vdpau card?

I think that the dynamic loader would then search for libvdpau.so, and not find it on systems without nVidia-drivers, which causes the program to not load Also, it's not very KISS to have several different packages for different needs in the main repos. That's what AUR/ABS's for.

I believe the OP indicated that the x86_64 package DOES have it compiled in.
Not that I'd notice. I think I have mplayer installed but haven't used it. I use nvidia anyway.

OK, I see,
then they probably will never include vdpau in the official binary,
then I shall compile it myself.
