Yes. No. The man page is the replacement (should be).

IMHO it's not needed at all, they are (should be) for developers
only. BTW: You know that translating the MPlayer documentation is 
hard work, do you? The normal documentation and the man page 
should be enough... ;))

Just orient you on the english manual. It has to be the guidance 
anyway. If you want to add new things first add them in the 
english manual, never in the translated one.
There have been many discussion about how the documentation
should be structured. I'm too tired to summerize it and I have not 
much free time. The archives may help.
