Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/DOCS/man/en
In directory mail:/var2/tmp/cvs-serv17662/DOCS/man/en

Modified Files:
	mplayer.1 
Log Message:
This patch removes mmap support because it doesn't have any benefit.

Directly accessing the sample buffer makes sense only when the samples
can be constructed in-place.  When the samples are just copied from
another buffer (as is the case with libao2 drivers), the code to copy
those samples is just a reimplementation of snd_pcm_writei(), so we
could as well use that function.

Besides, the current mmap code does not work except in the most simple
cases: it claims to support non-interleaved and complex sample formats,
but treats them the same as interleaved formats and writes to the wrong
memory location.
