Send a message via ICQ to burnit
See in mplayer-try7 sources (probably present in CVS or the last try8 release):
the file is cpudetect.c.

Hi dicorr,
If it is an Intel CPU, then you can use the assembler command CPUID.

In UNIX machines, there is a function gethostid() which returns a unique 32-bit identifier for that machine.

I do not think that answered your question. But going through the source of mplayer is a better idea.

With Regards,
Thinker
