That kind-of misses my point though; freeframe is a plug-in format for
adding effects to a video input (usually used in live VJ applications).
As far as I know, MPlayer doesn't support it, nor would that enable
support in any linux VJ'ing software! :)

I was simply looking at the possibility of running freeframe plugins
compiled under windows, in linux using wine as the middle-layer.
