Do you actually have a problem with mplayer playback? AFAICT these libraries are only used for playback as ASCII art. EG: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Caca-doom2.png http://caca.zoy.org/browser/web/trunk/static/img/stitch-80x45.png The author of libcaca states "I am perfectly aware that libcaca is the waste of time it looks to be." I think there is a hidden message here. Stroller.
