I do not have to change anything. I just argued that the possibility to 
make mplayer fail if audio or video can not be played is not entirely 
nonsense.

I'd prefer it to be _not_ the default, but I think that would require a 
new command line switch. For my taste, mplayer has to many already. So I 
proposed a way to implement that function, controllable by existing 
command line switches.

Ok, here's another one:

Create new dummy drivers for audio and video, called "stop" or "fail". 
The drivers don't do anything, they just make mplayer exit when probed. 
If in a -vo or -ao list all the preceeding drivers can't be used, the 
"stop" driver will be invoked, stopping mplayer and thus avoiding 
playing audio only or video only.

Greets,
