[Arpi]

Hi,

ok, it has been commited by gabuciono, and reviewed by me now.

none of them were obsolete!!!
ask me before you decide a option to be obsolete, ok?
anyway, easy to find them, just grep for OBSOLETE in cfg_*.h files

>     - Some options need a better documentation and/or hints...

what about -vop and -aop documentation in the manpage? imho would be
usefull, seems that users only read the manpage, especially as it's handy
after install.

see tech/vop.txt and docs/sound.html

yes. so i've removed few redundant -no variants

at least in the manpage. it should be the primary source of options docs.

dunno. i don't like this 'general' 'advanced' 'obsolete' options structure,
it's simply silly. options should be partitioned like codecs options, ao
options, vo options, input/demux options.

esepcially, as codecs and demux options are common wiht mencoder, while
ao/vo are mplayer-only

>     - Why not remove all those (defenitve) obsolete options?
which?
