I don't know what riveravaldez has been exposed to, but their answer
was most helpful, and was expressed in the style used in mplayer's
man page. If it's felt that this style is unclear, patches can always
be offered.
BTW Should you add an extraneous "file", the only effect (in the
absence of such a file) is three extra lines of output:
Playing file.
File not found: 'file'
Failed to open file.
