Any progress here? Users keep coming and asking why they can't use MPlayer
with compiz. We do not have the resources to implement this (not to mention
that none of the core developers use compiz). The current patch is
unacceptable for inclusion in MPlayer (due to unnecessary code
duplication). See this document for MPlayer patch submission guidelines:

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
