The short answer is that since Freevo is mostly written in Python, you
can edit the source in your installed copy. Just find
src/video/mplayer.py and edit line 299
Restarting Freevo is all you should need to do. No recompile is
necessary.

The longer answer is that we should probably move this into the
configuration files...
