But programs should have sensible defaults.  You are an MPlayer
developer, your verbosity "needs" are obviously not the same as those of
the normal users.  IIRC you even have "v=yes" in your config file.  So
for you nothing would change.

It's more sensible to expect you to add that setting to your config file
or command line than to expect normal users to use options to silence
the output.
