ok, i was stupid :)


btw. the codec config system is great and simple, but there is one thing
i don't like.

usually i don't want to customize the whole codecs.conf, i only want to
adjust it a little, for example:never-use-mp3lib. for that i have to  i
copy the /usr/local/etc/codecs.conf to $HOME/.mplayer, and edit it.

the problems begin when i update mplayer from cvs. make-install of
course overwrites /usr/local/etc/codecs.conf with the newest version,
but mplayer will still use $HOME/.mplayer/codecs.conf, which isn't based
on the newest one.

i know i can create a diff for the custom-codecs-conf, and patch
codecs.conf after every update, but it would be nice to have a simpler
way. i just don't know what that way should be.
