Koth said this was a known bug where mplayer will not accept keyboard input when its waiting for data, as it parses keys on every frame played. he says its not fixable without messing with a/v sync and lots of code. is this a known bug? has this been talked about before? is there a timeout for mplayer waiting for data? e.g. after a minute mplayer will stop waiting and exit? can this be included? e.g. -timeout 30
