mplay config file heads up

[Joel Hammer]

Just in case you have had this problem, and may not have found the
solution, options in:
     ~/.mplayer/config

which take parameters are entered differently than on the command line.
For example,
     mplayer -loop 0 works fine.

In your config file, however, you have to enter:
     loop=0

This is not in the documentation that I found.

This explains why when my browser attempted to play online video, things
just hung and why reinstalling mplayer cured the problem.
