Patrick , i put the question because 1.2 was released in october , someone say in this thread , but mplayer recompiled 2 or 3 times , the same svn version ,and no get 1.2 in this 2 moths. (1.2 stable release)
Then i think , i missing something important like compatibility with other libs/programs or something.
Its only that , thinking im lost something.

Actually there is a simple explanation if you look at the xine-lib.SlackBuild as well as the MPlayer.SlackBuild.
Xine uses the ffmpeg sources from the MPlayer directory.
Mplayer repository check-outs do not contain the ffmpeg sources, so Pat adds a separate ffmpeg source tarball which works with both MPlayer and Xine.
A release tarball of MPlayer on the other hand, contains an embedded ffmpeg. The xine-lib.SlackBuild would have to be updated to use a separate copy of ffmpeg (expanding the size of the source DVD with 7 MB) because there is no guarantee that the embedded ffmpeg is actually working well with Xine.
So Pat checks out a 20160125 repository snapshot of MPlayer which is in fact identical to the 1.2.1 release.
