heh?

it's not media type related, it's file related.
so, no way to handle dvd://.
you can create system-wide Maya_Gold_sucks_again.avi.conf so every user
watching files named Maya_Gold_sucks_again.avi with mplayer will have some
extra settings.
sorry i cannot imagine any case when it may be useful.
esp. that since it's loaded after commandline parsing, the user has no way
to override it (except of renaming the file :))
