I agree that Mpxplay has the most up-to-date DOS sound card drivers, but "translating" them from WATCOM syntax to DJGPP takes some more time and it seems that all persons interested in MPlayer DOS port don't have enough time for the project.

Perhaps this would be nice, but it's not actual, and if the goal is to have a better MPlayer DOS port ASAP, the best solution is to port/adjust some drivers written for GCC. For example MPlayer source code has SVGAlib video output option, so it would be easy to apply Andrea Mazzoleni's DJGPP patches to the library and to enable "-vo svga" in the DOS port too. IMO this would be a more elegant solution for hardware acceleration than CVidix. Newer NVIDIA chips will still not be supported, because I think their specs are not available yet for open source projects.
