2Nickster: Can you try to add opera integration instructions to wiki?

Now about the progress, I did not have much free time lately, but now volume control support for gstreamer output module is committed to SVN. There is still a problem with audio/video sync that needs to be fixed before '-ao gst -ac dspmp3' can be recommended for everyone and used by default. I also tried a quick search for AAC format description, but did not find anything useful yet.

As for the future improvements, right now it seems to me that having ARM assembler optimized color conversion and scaling would be a good thing to have next. But of course if we can make DSP do this work, it would be even better.

Scaling has bad effect on performance, but if we want a universal player that can accept any video resolutions and show them fullscreen, scaling support is needed. Using sdl video output, we can see that it can be implemented reasonably fast, mplayer just needs an optimized fast software scaler so that we can switch to x11 video output by default.
