[MPlayer-users] format out stdout progress

oh no!!!!  this information is useful for creating front-ends to mplayer.
right now I'm writing a POE-based wrapper and if this status info goes away,
it better be replaced with something of equivalent value!!  in fact, it'd be
useful to add other info to the output, such as percentage completion.

Q: What is the meaning of the numbers on the status line?
     A: Example: A: 2.1 V: 2.2 A-V: -0.167 ct: 0.042 57/57 41% 0% 2.6% 0
4 49%

         * A: audio position in seconds
         * V: video position in seconds
         * A-V: audio-video difference in seconds (delay)
         * ct: total A-V sync correction done
         * frames played (counting from last seek)
         * frames decoded (counting from last seek)
         * video codec cpu usage in percent (for slices and DR this
includes video_out)
         * video_out cpu usage
         * audio codec cpu usage in percent
         * frames needed to drop to maintain A-V sync
         * current level of image postprocessing (when using -autoq)
         * current cache size used (around 50% is normal)

Most of them are for debug purposes and will be removed at some point.
