Hmm. Why to shift right long pages if the file itself is the function?

I think you mean mplayer.c, it has sometimes bad indenting. But it has
too many levels of depth, and we want to keep it eradable without
scrolling horizontaly.

But we has no years to learn it. If there is a little bug, tons of bugreports
arrive and our mailserver gets flooded :)

Ok.
