At least for us, an option would definitely be more convenient, as we
wouldn't be forced to build MPlayer from source.  Also, the binary is
exported to quite a few workstations via NFS and I'm not sure whether
all users always want the same behaviour.

I thought about "-(no)dpms" myself, but found it a bit ambiguous: Does
"-nodpms" mean "disable DPMS" or "don't disable DPMS"?  If you tell me
which way round to do it, I'll send an updated pacth :-)

Thanks, Holger
