typos, small fixes

So everything is ok 'till now, I want to move them to a separate lib.

Now, go on:

3. mplayer.c - ooh, he's the boss :)
    It's main purpose is connecting the other modules, and maintaining A/V
    sync.

    The given stream's actual position is in the corresponding stream header
    timer field (sh_audio / sh_video).

	 The structure of the playing loop :
         while(not EOF) {
             fill audio buffer (read & decode audio) + increase a_frame
             read & decode a single video frame + increase v_frame

			0x4  -  sub/osd supported (has draw_alpha)
   IMPORTANT: it's mandatorial that every vo driver support the YV12 format,
	 and one (or both) of BGR15 and BGR24, with conversion, if needed.
	 If these aren't supported, not every codec will work! The mpeg codecs
	 can output only YV12, and the older win32 DLLs only 15 and 24bpp.
	 There is a fast MMX-using 15->16bpp converter, so it's not a
	 significant speed-decrease!

    The BPP table, if the driver can't change bpp:
	 current bpp		has to accept these
	     15				15

  Has to return how many bytes are in the audio buffer. Be exact, if possible,
  since the whole timing depends on this! In the worst case, return the size
  of the buffer.

!!! Because the video is synchronized to the audio (card), it's very important
!!! that the get_space and get_delay are working!
