Add an exit function. This function will allow performing clean-up operations. (MPlayer calls guiDone() before exiting, but only if the GUI has been initialized, i.e. if guiInit() has been called successfully. Any exit_player()/exit_player_with_rc() after GUI's cfg_read() until guiInit(), or any exit_player() during guiInit() itself will end the GUI without calling guiDone(). This exit function will at least handle abortions during guiInit() itself. It will be called twice in case of an guiExit() after GUI initialization - first directly, next by guiDone() via MPlayer's exit_player_with_rc().)

MPlayer's Dump Stream Formats
=============================

Designed by Alex & Arpi

The file starts with a variable size header:
--------------------------------------------

32-bit  Stream format fourcc (MPVS or MPAS)
        MPVS = MPlayer Video Stream
        MPAS = MPlayer Audio Stream
8-bit   Demuxer type (AVI,MOV,ASF,REAL,...)
8-bit   Flags (marks  dumped headers)
        Values: 0x1:  WAVEFORMATEX
                0x2:  Audio extra codec data
                0x4:  BITMAPINFOHEADER
                0x8:  QT's ImageDesc
                0x16: indicates 32-bit chunk size before every data chunk
16-bit  Length of headers

There's strict rule in the follow-up of the codec-headers.
Depending on flags,

Data chunks:
