  even pointing over a GUI button spawns a new process (thread:) And it
  forgets to kill it currently :) So every player runs on multiple threads BUT
  MPlayer. And we all know which one is more stable. (of course this is

  to send it to me, then we argued it's fscking slow. And it segfaults, etc.
  Then I realized I was at fault because I didn't RTFM, and the binary was
  optimized to i686, and I had a k6/2. And they don't like each other. So

 Anyways, I think MPlayer became a very good software. The documentation is
 also amongst the best ones. Far the best amongst average project documentations.
 I've also learned much from the code, then used the knowledge in other
