otoh, sound behaved quite badly when I tried it for last time - after
pressing '.' multiple times, each time hearing short part of a sountdtrasck,
after unpausing mplayer jumped some seconds forwards. This can be a problem
of sound vs. video frames, but I'd prefer not to play or repeat sound
frames, rather than skipping video frames.
