There was nothing ever rejected, as no patch was ever recieved. So I was told on the MPlayer-users mailing list. MPlayer developers do not crawl the web in search for possible improvements. To get a new feature included in MPlayer, it is best to send a patch to MPlayer-dev-eng list, like it was done with vdpau. I can't do that, I'm no programmer of the C family of languages. Sorry.
