I updated my Precise system from the standard repos a few minutes ago,
and the mplayer2 bug is still there.

I have not yet tested it in Quantal using your ppa.

By the way, will Quantal work with non-pae kernels? I have two computers
where mplayer2 does not work, one is an IBM Thinkpad without pae and one
Dell pentium 4 with pae.

Now I have downloaded the daily build Lubuntu Quantal (Oct 17), made a
persistent USB drive with Unetbootin and installed your version of
mplayer2 from launchpad/gilir. It works in my Dell Dimension 4600
(pentium 4 with pae), where mplayer2 has never worked for me in Precise.
I have not done any thorough testing yet, only tested with an mp4 file
transformed by ffmpeg from an MTS file from my video camera.

This morning I checked and yes, Lubuntu Quantal needs pae, so it does
not work with any of the old IBM Thinkpads without pae.

Is there any chance that the update to mplayer2 package might work with
Precise? Now or in the future? After all, Precise has LTS (at least for
Ubuntu and Xubuntu).
