DVD decryption (there's a libdvdcss in the mplayer source tree).

Regarding that, there is this news:
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/05/feds-considering-allowing-dvd-encryption-cracking/

And internal libcvdcss will not be used to build (unless 
--enable-libdvdcss-internal),
then it is not a reason to restrict binary packages.

Any other comments?
