  Q: Ok, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it is babbling about permissions!
     Help me!
! A: Make the mplayer binary SUID root. Become root and type the following:
!    'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!    'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!    'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!    Now it works as a simple user, too.
     !!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!!
     This is a BIG security risk! Never do this on a server or on a computer

  Q: Ok, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it is babbling about permissions!
     Help me!
! A: It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.
!    You should become to root (su -), and try again.
! 
!    Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED!
!        'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!        'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!        'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
