I think it's because it was working properly with multiple tracks.
Mplayer just plays through so we don't update the OSD. I'm not sure if
this is still the case. 

Also, if someone is using xine, but doesn't want to install mplayer,
that avoids the need to have both. As for cdtools, I thought cdtools
uses the internal analog out, while mplayer/xine both use cdparanoia
to do a digital read.

You could set a command in your local_conf.py:

EVENTS['video']['1'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='contrast
-100')

for example.

I was pretty disappointed that they removed mga_vid, etc. from tvtime,
of course, I have a PVR250, so it was never really supported anyway,
but we can keep patches in CVS.
