[MPlayer-dev-eng] -endpos option in mplayer.c

[Paul TT]

i've got the patch to get mplayer.c implement -endpos option ready to
go...

still 2 (3) questions...

. what is better? play a number of seconds like -frames, which plays a
  number of frames in total, without take care of forward/backward
  seeking, _or_ consider endpos as last seconds to play,
  i'll explain better the latter:
    if endpos is 1:20 i'll play 1min 20sec, so with no ipnuts/seekings
    from the user, starting at 0 i'll end at 1:20, starting at (-ss)
    2:20, i'll stop at 3:40.
    with user input/seekings, is it better to stop anyway at 3:40 or
    play 1:20 as total time played (if i forward one min i'll stop at
    4:40, for example)???????

. i dropped support in -endpos for mplayer to work with
  number of bytes,  it seems useless and it would require an other
  variable to contain the  progress, so maybe is too tricky add it.
  it's ok this way or not?

the third is:
. do i have to add in the patch the changes to mplayer.1 man page or
  i'll have to do separately then?
