I think milliradians is the preferred unit, and we'd be happy to get  
your patch to bring microstrain into line. As you can tell, the  
interfaces have generally evolved piecemeal, but we've recently been  
putting some effort into making them consistent. You might want to  
check the CVS HEAD version of player.h to see if microstrain has  
already been 'fixed'.
