+.B \-edl\-backward\-extra\-sec <number>
+When using EDL during playback and jumping backwards it is possible to
+end up in the middle of an EDL record, in this case mplayer will jump out of 
+the record in the same directon, to the start position of this EDL record. 
+This parameter adds number of seconds to add to this seek so jumping out of 
+the record will result in position a little before the start position and 
+will give some time to a user to press another button for going farther or
+to pause. Without this extra seconds the continued after the seek playback 
+would enter the same EDL record again and jump to the end immediately.
+Default is 2 seconds.
