.
.SH "AUDIO OUTPUT DRIVERS (MPLAYER ONLY)"
Audio output drivers are interfaces to different output facilities.
The syntax is:
.TP
.B \-ao <driver1[:option],driver2,...[,]>
Specify a priority list of audio output drivers to be used.
.PP
If the list has a trailing ',' it will fall back to drivers not listed
on the command line.
Suboptions are optional and can mostly be omitted.

.
.SH "VIDEO OUTPUT DRIVERS (MPLAYER ONLY)"
Video output drivers are interfaces to different output facilities.
The syntax is:
.TP
.B \-vo <driver1[:option],driver2,...[,]>
Specify a priority list of video output drivers to be used.
.PP
If the list has a trailing ',' it will fall back to drivers not listed on the
command line.
Suboptions are optional and can mostly be omitted.

Uses the DirectX driver with acceleration features turned off.

.TP
.B xv (X11 only)
Uses the XVideo extension of XFree86 4.x to enable hardware
accelerated playback.

.TP
.B xover (X11 only)
Adds X11 support to all overlay based video output drivers.
Currently only supported by tdfx_vid.
.TP
.B xvmc (X11 only)
This video output driver employs the XvMC (X Video Motion Compensation)
extension of XFree86 4.x.
FIXME: The suboption descriptions are incomplete/imprecise.
.PD 0

.IPs benchmark=<number>
Disable display of image to prevent vsync on benchmarking.
.IPs wait
.IPs sleep
Use sleep function while waiting for rendering to finish (not recomended on Linux).
.IPs queue
Use display queue to allow more paralel work of the video hardware.

.TP
.B dga (X11 only)
Output video through the XFree86 Direct Graphics Access extension.

.TP
.B vidix\ \ 
VIDIX (VIDeo Interface for *niX) is an interface to the
video acceleration features of different graphics cards.
Very fast output driver on cards that support it.
.TP
.B xvidix (X11 only)
VIDIX running under X11.
.TP
.B cvidix\ 
VIDIX running in a console.
.TP
.B winvidix (Windows only)
Windows version of the VIDIX driver.
.TP

.IPs benchmark
Disables image display.
Necessary for proper benchmarking of drivers that change
image buffers on monitor retrace only (nVidia).
.IPs queue
Queue frames for display to allow more parallel work of the video hardware.
May add a small (not noticeable) constant A/V desync.
.IPs sleep
Use sleep function while waiting for rendering to finish
(not recomended on Linux).
.IPs wait\ 
Do not use sleep function while waiting for rendering to finish
(default).
