New h.265 video format was approved by ITU (Announce)

Hi,
new video format with better compression and support of 10 and 12bit/channels is comming. There is some free implementation: http://code.google.com/p/x265/downloads/list
It also included patch for FFMPEG and windows binaries. I tried to compile simple x265.exe encoder under DJGPP and it went well, no warnings. But didn't tested yet: http://rayer.g6.cz/download/x265.exe
We would also need some mplayer update.
I'm little bit confused about this sources - ffmpeg and linux mplayer refers to libx265 and there are libx265.dll and libx265.lib and libx265.a but I'm not clear how to compile it from the source - it describe only compiling of x265.exe program. Maybe should I just compile all *.cpp except x265.cpp and ar objects in the library?

EDIT:
I tested the encoder and it seems produce h256 raw file but I cannot play it :(
encoder example:
C:\>X265.EXE -i TEST.YUV -o test.bin -w 512 -h 384 -f 200
input must be in YUV RAW format, w/h must be multiple of 32

I listed files of the compiled lib265.a (ffmpeg patch zip file) by "ar t" and in contains interface.o module which is missing the source...

I still cannot find any suitable player, only some notes about ubuntu gnome mplayer on some chinese site which contains lib265...

What functions exports that module?

Indeed, it seems that "interface.cpp" which implements some functions used in ffmpeg's patch is missing from the packages.

Do you think that existing sources would be enough to easily implement decoding in mplayer?

I don't know, unfortunately for the present I lack the spare time necessary to get further into the problem. But the author might be kind enough to provide the missing file.

I mailed the author mentioned in header files...
