Linux, programming, computers and life

It looks, that a lot of people wonder how to configure mplayer. I see a lot of enters to my short post (from google) about some mplayer configuration options. Here are some more resources to look at:

• a post on ubuntuforums.org which has a lot of explanations
• there’s example configuration file, usually at /etc/mplayer/example.conf
• mplayer official docs in english (other languages)
• my ~/.mplayer/config - nothing ingenious in there
