Doesn't require. Just read DOCS/tech-eng.txt, and check what functions are
in main files, like mplayer.c, dec_audio.c, libao2.
I have to update tech-eng.txt, but only a few changes was made after last
update.

Sorry, but I'm working on code cleanup, and API generalization for 2 months.
I must be finished in 1-2 weeks, to allow gui integration.
You must understand that I don't want to add messy code patches now...
I would do it myself, but i haven't spdif ac3 decoder system or what.
(i have sb live, but using analog amplifier on line-out)

clear; mplayer [options] file &>/dev/null
btw error messages shouldn't redirected to null, they are important.
i print only fatal errors to stderr, warnings and other stuff is printed to
stdout.
