 It has the same options as MPlayer.
 
 .SH GENERAL NOTES
+.B Check the HTML documentation, too!
+.br
 Every "flag" option has a "noflag" counterpart, e.g.  the opposite of the \-fs
 option is \-nofs.
 .br
-.B Check the HTML documentation, too!
+You can put all of the options in a config file which will be read every time
+.B mplayer
+is run. The system-wide config file is '/etc/mplayer.conf', the user specific
+one is '~/.mplayer/config'. User specific options override system-wide options
+and options given on the command line override either. The syntax of the config
+files is 'option=<value>', everything after a '#' is considered a comment.
+Options that work without values can be enabled by setting them to 'yes' or '1'
+and disabled by setting them to 'no' or '0'.

+.I EXAMPLE

+# Use Matrox driver by default.
