Folks,

I love Mplayer! Congrats to the great works done by all the developers.

I've browsed through all the docs (even thouse in teh code base) and I
still have a few questions:

XMMS plug-ins
	I notice in the release notes that it can use XMMS plugins. I have a
plug in for xmms that plays flac files. When it try to playa flac file
it guesses at the format incorrectly and tries to use a tone genorator
plug-in. Are there docs that can tell me how to set up the plug-ins so
tha tmplayer knows which plug-ins to use for which file types?

Cds

	Am I right the MPlayer will not play cds?
Skins

	Are there skins available anywhere else then on the mplayerhq web page?

Buffering
	Is there a way to set a read ahead caache (like xmms has) so avoid
drop-outs with disk activity (when playing mp3s for instance)?


Thanx,

Bearcat M. Sandor
