Bug#867115: more information on the #867115 bug

[Alec Rose]

Hi,

I worked-around this by installing mplayer (not mplayer2). This works
for me but as mpv is recommended I'd rather use this.

On command line mplayer also does not play with --noquiet option meaning
that smplayer is giving the one dash -noquiet to mplayer correctly. Of
course that doesn't get us anywhere when mpv isn't accepting this.

$ dpkg -l mpv mplayer2 smplayer mplayer
