It's a simple matter of psychology.  If MPlayer prints out a lot of
gibberish people cannot understand they just ignore all of it.  Nobody
will bother to read through it to find the interesting pieces.  That's
why output should be terse by default so that the important and
interesting pieces get noticed.

I'll give you an example: Do you read licenses and EULAs top to bottom?
How many people really do?  Most have a look at it, see it is
unintelligible and uninteresting legalese and skip it completely...
