I don't think that it's a good idea as in this case you'r going to read from the RAM
while when doing it during the decoding you have chance to get it from the cache.

I tried but it did't seem to make much difference. It migth be very CPU dependant,
more try would be better. For the *nix user who want i can send the needed patch
for mplayer.

Me too :)
