You can only use this if you compile a patched x264 library, and use 
that to build mplayer. The value aq-strength:0.3 should then work, but i 
haven't actually verified this; it doesn't say it's an unknown option 
anymore, though, so it should work.

Personally, what I did is hardcode that 0.3 value into the patched x264 
header files and then built the library, as I always use 0.3 as value 
anyway.
