What is config supposed to return? Most (all?) libvo drivers seems to assume
that -1 is a failure and 0 is success. libmpcodecs seems to assume that 0 is a
failure and anything else is success.

When is config called zero times? And when is it called more than once? When
several files are played the order seems to be preinit, config, uninit,
(preinit?), config, ...
