-dumpaudio (MPLAYER only)
Dumps raw compressed audio stream to ./stream.dump
(useful with mpeg/ac3).
-dumpfile <filename> (MPLAYER only)
Specify which file MPlayer should dump to. Should be
used together with -dumpaudio / -dumpvideo / -dumpstream.
-dumpstream (MPLAYER only)
Dumps the raw stream to ./stream.dump.
Useful when ripping from DVD or network.
