Better, thanks.  I have suggested what I consider a simpler and clearer
version below.  Reynaldo, please commit whichever one you prefer.

In that case MPlayer will seek further backwards to the start position
of the EDL record and then immediately skip the scene specified in the
EDL record.
To avoid this kind of behavior, MPlayer jumps to a fixed time interval
before the start of the EDL record.
This parameter allows you to specify that time interval in seconds
(default: 2 seconds).
