NOTE
----
MPlayer-1.0rc1-i486-2 has 'illegal' dvdcss code ripped out, so I could
upload it to slackware.com. Result is that this binary package can not play
encrypted DVD's all by itself! You will need to install libdvdcss
additionally for that.
This MPlayer package depends on the libdvdread package.
PS you can rebuild the MPLayer package *with* support for encrypted DVD
playback easily, by running the build script as:

  REMOVECSS=no ./MPlayer.SlackBuild

When doing so, the resulting binary MPlayer package has no longer a dependency
on libdvdread - this functionality is then covered by MPlayer-internal code.
