Hello everybody.

In my opinion are the default configs located in the wrong directory.

In the configure scripts it is specified to use /etc/mplayer/ as the config dir...
If you then use pacman -Ql mplayer to check where i.e. codecs.conf is located. And you edit that file, nothing will change.
(Because /usr/share/mplayer/ conatains the .confs)

I think it would be better to make it more obvious that /etc/mplayer/ is the config dir, and not /usr/share/mplayer

Just my 2 cents. :-)
This task depends upon
