Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

According to the mplayer man page:

  You can get a list and an explanation of
  available suboptions executing mplayer -vo aa:help

but running that command shows generic mplayer help, not 'AAlib' help.

   * debian/rules:
     - Add --disable-mp3lib to actually disable the damn thing.
   * DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1:
     - Remove documentation about -vo aa:help (LP: #43301).
   * Various files (see bzr diff for info):
     - Apply patch taken from Mandriva CVS (LP: #53947)
       to use dbus for disabling gnome-screensaver.
