[manjaro-dev] mplayer dts track playback problem with old processor

[klesk]

Hi,

I tracked the failure down to FFmpeg 2.2.* which mplayer 37224-2 from
the repos was compiled with. I tried serveral minor versions like 2.2 -
2.2.10 but all seems to fail. With newer FFmpeg Versions like 2.3.* and
2.4.* the failure seems to be gone. 

Not many users have this problem,so I think it isn't necessary to
upload our own compiled Version.
I recommend to wait until the next version, because the package should
be compiled with a newer FFmpeg-Version due some compilations problems
with older versions then 2.3 FFmpeg with newer mplayer revisions.

With kind regards
