[MPlayer-users] minor problem with new-style DVD support

As far as I have been able to determine, the new-style DVD support will only
enable you to play things defined as "titles" on the DVD. DVDs often contain
VOBs which do not form part of any title.

In my case, I wanted an MP3 of the background music to the menu on one of my
DVDs. I quickly found the VOB I wanted was vts_01_0.vob but the only way I
could get mplayer to play it was to recompile with the old-style DVD support,
meaning I had to dig up a prehistoric libcss.so from somewhere. This was very
boring.

Anyway, it'd be nice if the new-style DVD support was able to play everything
on the DVD, or VOB files directly, though obviously it's not critical.
