This option lets you play raw audio files.
You have to use \-demuxer rawaudio as well.
It may also be used to play audio CDs which are not 44kHz 16-bit stereo.
For playing raw AC3 streams use \-rawaudio format=0x2000 \-demuxer rawaudio.

.B \-rtsp-port
Used with 'rtsp://' URLs to force the client's port number.
This option may be useful if you are behind a router and want to forward
the RTSP stream from the server to a specific client.
.
.TP
.B \-rtsp-destination
Used with 'rtsp://' URLs to force the destination IP address to be bound.
This option may be useful with some RTSP server which do not
send RTP packets to the right interface.
If the connection to the RTSP server fails, use \-v to see
which IP address MPlayer tries to bind to and try to force
it to one assigned to your computer instead.
.
.TP
.B \-rtsp-stream-over-tcp (LIVE555 only)
Used with 'rtsp://' URLs to specify that the resulting incoming RTP and RTCP
packets be streamed over TCP (using the same TCP connection as RTSP).
This option may be useful if you have a broken internet connection that does
not pass incoming UDP packets (see http://www.live555.com/\:mplayer/).
.
.TP
.B \-saveidx <filename>
Force index rebuilding and dump the index to <filename>.
Currently this only works with AVI files.
.br
.I NOTE:
This option is obsolete now that MPlayer has OpenDML support.
.
.TP
.B \-sb <byte position> (also see \-ss)
Seek to byte position.
Useful for playback from CD-ROM images or VOB files with junk at the beginning.
.
.TP
.B \-speed <0.01\-100>
Slow down or speed up playback by the factor given as parameter.
Not guaranteed to work correctly with \-oac copy.
.
.TP
.B \-srate <Hz>
Selects the output sample rate to be used
(of course sound cards have limits on this).
If the sample frequency selected is different from that
of the current media, the resample or lavcresample audio filter will be inserted
into the audio filter layer to compensate for the difference.
The type of resampling can be controlled by the \-af-adv option.
The default is fast resampling that may cause distortion.
.
.TP
.B \-ss <time> (also see \-sb)
Seek to given time position.

.B \-tskeepbroken
Tells MPlayer not to discard TS packets reported as broken in the stream.
Sometimes needed to play corrupted MPEG-TS files.
.
.TP
.B \-tsprobe <byte position>
When playing an MPEG-TS stream, this option lets you specify how many
bytes in the stream you want MPlayer to search for the desired
audio and video IDs.
.
.TP
.B \-tsprog <1\-65534>
When playing an MPEG-TS stream, you can specify with this option which
program (if present) you want to play.
Can be used with \-vid and \-aid.
.
.TP
.B \-psprobe <byte position>
When playing an MPEG-PS stream, this option let's you specify how many
bytes in the stream you want MPlayer to scan in order to identify the
video codec used.
This option is needed to play EVO files containing H.264 streams.
.
.TP
.B \-radio <option1:option2:...> (radio only)
These options set various parameters of the radio capture module.
For listening to radio with MPlayer use 'radio://<frequency>'

If you have problems with sound speed (runs too quickly), try to play
with different rate values (e.g.\& 48000,44100,32000,...).
.IPs achannels=<value> (with radio capture enabled)
Number of audio channels to capture.
.RE
.
.TP
.B \-tv <option1:option2:...> (TV/\:PVR only)
This option tunes various properties of the TV capture module.
For watching TV with MPlayer, use 'tv://' or 'tv://<channel_number>'
