diff DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1 @ 17616:92431bc3d014

This patch removes mmap support because it doesn't have any benefit. Directly accessing the sample buffer makes sense only when the samples can be constructed in-place. When the samples are just copied from another buffer (as is the case with libao2 drivers), the code to copy those samples is just a reimplementation of snd_pcm_writei(), so we could as well use that function. Besides, the current mmap code does not work except in the most simple cases: it claims to support non-interleaved and complex sample formats, but treats them the same as interleaved formats and writes to the wrong memory location.
