I think it means play the audio from the file without showing any
video. So for example, you could use mplayer blah.wmv -ao pcm -aofile
foo.wav -novideo to extract audio from a movie. That is, if the
demuxer works right with video disabled...

For now, Arpi's probably planning to use it to isolate bugs in the
demuxers that prevent audio-only playback from working.
