Re: mplayer confusion -- no gui?

ToddAndMargo@xxxxxxxxxxx did eloquently scribble:
Hi All,

I have been playing with mplayer. I think I am
missing something. I get just a command line utility.
No volume adjustment, no gui controls of any kind.

skip forward/back, volume, pause, fullscreen, etc are all controlled with
the keyboard.

If you want to use the gui, type gmplayer. (This only works if the gui was
compiled in)

If I run a video DVD (mplayer /dev/dvd), I get
a video screen with no controls (no sound either!).

So you get no volume controls, or no audio at all with dvds?
(That's not right, it works fine here)
