Wow! I've done the same too, perhaps we can join our translations together!
Only a little thing: you have changed the revision in

.\" $Revision: 1.0 $

but doing so we can't know the english document from which we have started!
Perhaps could be better do something as
.\" $Revision: 1.545 $  // the original english document
.\" Traduzione italiana rev. 1.0 // our revision

or

.\" $Revision: 1.0 $
.\" Dalle pagine man inglesi rev. 1.545

we have to take into account that, even when we are talking, the english man pages are upgrated
by the developers, so we have to keep trace of our and original revisions.

The messages file attached are the english and the italian ones, we can use them
as a reference.

I agree, but I think that this could be a conformity problem with the man pages
translated in the other languages:
perhaps other people in this list (with a better knowledge of the documentation system -
Diego?)  can suggest us the right way to do that...

If I have time I can try to do a list of words that we will not translate and send it to
you, for your revisions. I really like the translation Stream<->flusso for example, I
wasn't able to find nothing for stream like yours one!

Ok, during the week-end I'll try to do
   OSD/SUB OPTIONS,
   AUDIO OUTPUT OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY),
   VIDEO OUTPUT OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY),
   DECODING/FILTERING OPTIONS
