Hi David,

Actually, seems that they release their tarballs:

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/?C=M;O=D

They offer MPlayer-1.0rc4 (openwrt-packages version is rc3).

I had a look at SPEC files of some distros, seems that they all package
that latest rc4 version, nobody sticks to svn revision.

Perhaps you should check if rc4 fits your needs.
