No I haven't mailed it to the mplayer list. I don't think it should be
included in it's current state. Yes, it should go into a new plugin but
this new plugin should still support xv output as you want to
dynamically fall-back to that when the compiz interface isn't available.
It should probably go into an xv-compiz output plugin but some code
sharing between the existing xv module should probably be done then.
