Is there an option to disable key caching altogether?.. because my mplayer 
is suid root (stop laughing, buy me a better graphics card), when i play 
some random dvd, hell even one i burned myself! it leaves an annoying 
directory in my home dir that i can't even delete without root permissions. 
I haven't player a dvd in several years, i wouldn't mind loosing the 
caching.
