I am a "VIA licenced developer", they gave me the CLE266 source code
CLEXF40040-lite-src_03012004.zip.  Nearly all of the code is Free
Software,  I have put a copy of Free Software without the proprietary
files on my home page (http://jguk.org/data/CLE266_distro.tgz).  These
are the files I wiped because they were not Free Software (I only read
the licence at the top of each file, and not any of whatever was below):

via/include/
debug.h
viampg.h
VidInit.h
VidStruc.h
Vinline.h
vregCME.h

via/Share/Vidcme/
ovlCME.c
ovlfCME.c
ovlfCME.h
vagpCME.c
vdefCME.h
vfcmCME.c

If someone is interested in just re-coding this specific functionality

Please also update the manual page if you change an option name.

Re: [PATCH] Separated LIVE.COM library and include directories

Thanks for doing this.

Will configuration continue to work properly if the user specifies 
"--with-livelibdir" but not "--with-liveincdir"?

Dohh' !
Stupid me, should have started by that (but I was too eager to try to fix 
it ;-) ).

Thanks for the info, upgrade in progress.

So. That's the "lite-src" i.e. the source code freely available that is
missing the mpeg decoder interface... which was the whole point of the reverse
engineering effort. This was achieved and the functionality is now provided by
the unichrome project as as open source driver.

However, this is simply providing the source code for the interface to the chip.
The piece that is missing and that requires work is to write a plugin for
mplayer that then interfaces to the driver. Which I believe was the original
question.

Regards,
Ivor.
