I've been a lurker for this entire thread and I wanted to add a few 
things.
First of all, I am just a lowly user who only very vaguely understands 
what CR/LF line endings are from the discussions here.
 From my point of view I see some developers agreeing with Adam (who btw 
is making very good argumentative points) and many others heavily 
disagreeing with him. Rich I think you were totally out of line 
shouting "STFU!" at him. It just makes you look immature and works to 
reinforce his position and lower yours.

In fact quotations and argument are just fine, they work to sway more 
objective and responsive and less dictator like devs, as well as the 
users (users correct me if I'm wrong but I think the majority of you 
agree with me, speak up to change this guy's mind as well as others.) 
If you look at the end of his post Adam says "Patch in progress." I 
suggest you read better.
I do not think that having CR/LF as an option is correct. From what 
I've seen Linux users have no problem reading CR/LF text files unless 
you use some obscure reader (which you shouldn't be using in the first 
place, just use vim or emacs). If 50% of all hardware players support 
CR/LF endings and only 30% of those players support files with only LF 
endings then of course CR/LF should be used as it is more compatible 
(made up facts to illustrate a point).
I agree that mplayer should use whatever format is most used. I run on 
Mac OS X and no matter where they came from text formats read just fine 
(with the exception of mplayer).

Mplayer is for users, not developers, stop thinking that it's here for 
you (to all developers).
