MPlayer have many important things to say, and it says them in a
non-invasive way on the console, not on its main output. If the messages
were outputted with OSD, or mixed over the soundtrack with a
text-to-speech program you would be right to complain :)

MPlayer != MEncoder, they have different purposes and different usage
methods.
