Package: mplayer
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be nice if you could split the mplayer package and provide a
mplayer-nogui (or whatever name you find suitable) that provides an
mplayer not linked against the whole xorg related stack (similar what
marillat did).

having a 'nogui' package is very usefull on server where we e.g. use
mplayer in the backend to create preview thumbnails of videos that users
uploaded, and obviously do not want to pull in the whole of x libraries.

Regards,
Daniel
