You mean the reason for the setlocale is to convert the filename to
utf8?
I think the decision was to simply assume that all strings MPlayer uses
are in UTF-8, and MSG_CHARSET is UTF-8, any cases where this is not the
case is either a bug or "legacy support" that will have to live with some
drawbacks.
The only exception is mp_msg.c.
Though I admit that "decision" was mostly my and Richs opinion that
anything besides UTF-8 is broken and not worth much trouble to support
and nobody else caring.
