[MPlayer-dev-eng] fix for the fbdev/playlist bug

Hi,
this bug should fix the problem that makes mplayer crash when playing 
playlists with the fbdev driver.
Apparently the problem is that after playing the first file for some 
reason both tty and fbdev file descriptor are closed and therefore when 
mplayer tries to play the second one does not find anywhere to send the 
images to. It would be probably nicer to convince mplayer not to close 
those but I have not enough time and experience to do it.
I'm sending you the same patch I sent to the mplayer-users list since I 
noticed that there has been no modification to vo_fbdev.c since the last 
stable edition.
BTW, in case you may find it useful, I noticed that if you redirect both 
STDIN and STDOUT to somewhere else, like /dev/null, then the positioning 
problems disappear.
Please forward to my email address any comment since I am not subscribed 
to this list.
Thanks a lot for this great player,
 Roberto
