Bug#681393: mplayer: Include section to enable threads

[Paul Menzel]

Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


the option `-lavdopts threads=8` improves playback quite a bit if the
system is on its limit to play some movie. MPlayer2 is using this by
default and therefore is often recommended on IRC channels.

Could

        #############
        # threading #
        #############
        lavdopts=threads=8

be added to `/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf`?


Thanks,

Paul
