Yeah, but what about files like something.au, something.ra or (possibly?)
5 letter extensions?

I don't mind the current approach either, but as you noticed ...

... there has to be a length check. (Alternative patch attached.)

The problem with the GUIs mentioned on the web page is their depedencies.
I'm currently using vlc and want to get rid of Qt (which is only installed
for vlc). There is no small and simple but sufficient GUI which only needs
gtk and nothing else - besides gmplayer, and I like it for that reason.

Yes, I'd like to fix a few things in it. For example, the fullscreen
options reacts strangely and I'd like an option to quit it after playing.
So there are patches to come.

It would, but I'd like to wait until git access is available, because I'm
using git (public key available) and haven't used svn so far.

(BTW, how will be the ok-to-commit procedure then?)
