	 runs as single-instance (provides basic controlling from outside)
	 provides basic mixer functions
	 provides interactive help (German/English) for control keys	

 Requirements

	 perl
	 make

	  --> http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar.bz2

	  Read the ChangeLog section 'new in 0.72' for more information.
 

 Install
 --------
 
 	 just run ./install
   
   options:
    -h (Usage)
    -f 	(with 'force_install_modules' the perl modules wich are in src/ 
		will be installed automatically without checking if you have this
		perl-modules already installed. That could make sense if you have
		problems or want to update your modules.	)
	
 you have to install mplay to have an interactive help.
