Oh and, did I say that it's *the* fastest movie player out there? (Not that it matters with VDPAU, but when you're trying to play HD movie on a crappy netbook you see the difference.)
Sounds like you used it once ten years ago and now you're spreading your uninformed opinions all over the place.
As for the configuration file - does anyone even use it? I just created a wrapper script in /usr/local that calls mplayer <args I always> "$@"

MPlayer is a ball of duct-tape spaghetti organised by the most rude and arrogant developer community in existence.
In the last 10 years I have encountered perhaps 2 or 3 DVDs or streams where some other player was better than MPlayer at actual playback.
I keep trying all these fancy players people keep talking about: Kaffeine, xine, VLC, XBMC, whatnot, and I always keep coming back to mplayer. Easy to control with the keyboard, and simply plays everything.

I actually like Kaffeine and VLC for DVD playback, as their dvd menus tend to be better.
It terms of actual playback quality, I have never found anything better than MPlayer. XBMC devours CPU cycles, most players have no easy way to boost brightness (my TV does not have a brightness control, believe it or not), they choke on many subtitle files, especially when non-English languages are involved, etc.
