Hi.
Sorry about I getting in this conversation, I don't want to flame or 
something like that, but I think these are valid ideas...

Well, IF this is all about not having mails saying "Hey why it says core 
dumped? Is that an error?" then this is not the way to go, because you 
will now get a lot of mails saying "Hey, how can I see the video and 
audio codecs of my video??" or "How can I know what VO is being used??".
And I think that wanting to know what VO is used, or what video format 
the video is, is a less advanced use that "Wanting to dump the audio 
stream".

Lets face it, a dumb user WILL send stupid mails to the list, no matter 
what. Because he will not even care to see the man page.
And if this is about not having to say "That's a joke", then you are 
adding the "Use -v" answer, isn't that correct?.
Anyway, just ideas.
Take care.
