huh. if we realy need to cleanup after bad crash then we are facing a
big problem =)
one idea - write a "wrapper" that saves all "states", that should be
restored after exiting, forks mplayer and restores all that when
mplayer exits...
but i think its stupid.
btw, when somebody will write a "player" with g2, he should think
about it =)
