You lost me on the 'bind' thing.. (you do know that '-slave' is a 
legitimate command line option?..)

I'm not sure if i preffer XML docs of man page for this thing.. i actually 
preffer the text file.. Text files for me personally have the biggest 
advantage of being the easiest thing to read, no special tool necessary and 
very little is "enhanced" by using other formats... but I do see your point 
in it not being popular...

MPlayer doesn't "spam" man pages all over, and I kinda like that, so my 
vote is XML docs... (and obviously put a mention in the man page in the 
-slave option.. come to think of it, I just remembered, slave.txt is also 
mentioned there... how could people possibly be missing it if they are 
using -slave if it's right there next to the option??..).

BTW, slave.txt (or the XML when it exists, whatever) should be mentioned
when input.conf is mentioned in the man page, cause it's also very relavent
for input.conf (and actually is more important to (l)users...).
