Sorry, I object :/
Some of these messages are important to track down troubles instantly, 
digging through -v is very hard if you just want to check a simple problem.

Also, your patch is broken - the CPU messages appear before the command 
line parser, try it, with your patch, even with -v, i won't see the cpu 
info.

MPlayer's verbosity is a feature, not a bug... If it bothers you, use 
-really-quiet :)

(A certain verbosity i would like to remove is the very annoying output 
from mencoder:
File not found: 'frameno.avi'
Failed to open frameno.avi
It's the worst output ever, it almost encourages using frameno..)
