           and run 'depmod -a' .
+ 
+ Playing from stdin:
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Now it's possible.
+ 
+ To play something by reading from stdin, just use '-' as filename:
+ 
+ cat test.mpg | mplayer -vo xv -
+ 
+ Restrictions:
+ 	mpg: no backward seeking
+ 	asf: no backward seeking
+ 	avi: no index reading -> no seeking at all, and playing of some files are
+ 		+impossible
+ 
+ No control from controlling terminal/xterm, but hotkeys and osd works
+ from the window. or course LIRC still works everywhere.
+ 
+ This feature combined with external wrappers extends possibilities.
+ For example, to play a movie just downloaded from your favourite divx
+ server:
+ 	rar p ast-nssvcd.rar | mplayer -vo xmga -fs -
+ 
+ With an asf grabber or http dump program you can play from the net.
+ (however we planned to add direct asf/http/ftp inputs with seeking and other
+ stuff, but for now it's a good workaround)
