Hi,

I recently introduced this OPTION to the mplayer and mencoder ports:
MEMALIGN (Avoid memory alignment hacks (EXPERIMENTAL))

It tries to avoid using mplayer-built-in hacks for aligning data to 16
or 32 byte boundaries on systems which support this out of the box
(e.g. aligned_alloc on 9.2 and later).

When you build mplayer or mencoder the next time, could you check this
option and let me know if you observe regressions?

Thanks in advance
Riggs
