Agreed, but this is a trivial issue. If everything works i can just ad some 
code that rips the complete dvd to be ripped to some temporary (fairly large) 
storage, and replace the -dvd-device /dev/dvd (or whatever free says it is) 
too -dvd-device /tmp/dvd. This works very well (and afaik this isn't provided 
by mplayer, but by libdvdread or something alike).
