[SWLUG] tweaking for sound performance

[bascule]

i found an unofficial deb for mplayer and installed it, reading the manpage i 
could find no 'buffer' option, there is a cache feature but all that seems to 
do is cache a certain percentage in advance, once the files has finished 
playing it pause while it caches the beginning of the next file in the 
playlist, also once the cache has played i get stuttering,
what option should i use to get read ahead buffering?
also, if i wish to have mplayer without lots of X related dependencies will i 
have to compile my own version?
