<option>--disable-ffmpeg_a</option>: You can use this option if you have
installed <xref linkend="ffmpeg"/>. MPlayer includes a copy of the FFmpeg
source and without this option it will statically compile the included
version of FFmpeg into itself. Dynamically linking to a system installed
FFmpeg makes MPlayer and Mencoder about 9MB smaller. If MPlayer exhibits
unstable behavior linked to a system installed FFmpeg, try recompiling MPlayer
without this option (it is always more thoroughly tested with the included
FFmpeg).

Typically, there's no configuration required for the system-wide files

above). Configuration can be accomplished by choosing the configuration
button located on the <application>MPlayer</application> GUI. Any
configuration changes made in the GUI will be saved in the user's
<filename class='directory'>~/.mplayer</filename> directory.
