Sam Hocevar a0c1805bd9 * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.
o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
     there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
   o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
     handle it properly yet)
   o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
   o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
   o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h

  * Changed documentation and package creation files.

   o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
   o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1

  * Added basic Qt interface.

   o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
   o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
   o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
                    the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
                    the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen

  * Misc fixes/updates.

   o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
   o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
     from me to name them "plst")
   o made a few input error messages more meaningful
   o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
     and --video

    I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
  file or made old bugs reappear.

.SH NAME
vlc, gvlc, kvlc, qvlc \- The VideoLAN Client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vlc
.RI [ OPTIONS ]
.RI [ PARAMETERS ]
.RI [ FILE ]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B vlc
, a free MPEG, MPEG2 and DVD player.
.SH OPTIONS
.B vlc
follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
A summary of options is included below.
.TP
.B \-I, \-\-intf <module>
Specify an interface module: "gnome", "curses", "qt", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-warning <level>
Select the warning level. 0 is the most verbose, 3 is almost mute.
.TP
.B \-\-noaudio
Disable audio output.
.TP
.B \-A, \-\-aout <module>
Specify an audio output module: "dsp", "esd", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-stereo, \-\-mono
Choose stereo or mono audio output
.TP
.B \-\-novideo
Disable video output.
.TP
.B \-V, \-\-vout <module>
Specify a video output module: "x11", "sdl", "fb", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-motion <module>
Specify a module for motion compensation: "motion", "motionmmx", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-idct <module>
Specify a module for IDCT: "idct", "idctmmx", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-yuv <module>
Specify a YUV module: "yuv", "yuvmmx", for instance.
.TP
.B \-\-display <display>
Specify the display name.
.TP
.B \-\-width <w>, \-\-height <h>
Choose the display coordinates.
.TP
.B \-g, \-\-grayscale
Grayscale output.
.TP
.B \-\-fullscreen
Full screen output.
.TP
.B \-\-overlay
Overlay (hardware accelerated output), if available.
.TP
.B \-\-color
Color output.
.TP
.B \-\-synchro <type>
Choose a fixed synchro value instead of the internal auto-adaptative
heuristics based on CPU usage.
`I' displays only I images, `IP' displays I and P images, `IP+'
displays I and P images and every second B image, and `IPB' forces
displaying of all images.
Note that vlc is not guaranteed to behave properly if you ask it to
display more images than your CPU can cope with.
.TP
.B \-t, \-\-dvdtitle <title>
Choose the DVD title. Most movies on DVDs start on the first title, but you may want to manually select another title.
.TP
.B \-T, \-\-dvdchapter <title>
Choose the DVD chapter. DVDs are divided into titles, which in turn are divided into chapters.
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-dvdaudio [ ac3 | lpcm | mpeg | off ]
Choose the audio channel type. Most DVDs have AC3 audio channels, but
you can also have Linear PCM or MPEG layer 2 sound. Also, one might decide
not to activate the audio channel.
.TP
.B \-c, \-\-dvdchannel [ 0\-15 ]
Select the audio channel. Most DVDs only have one or two audio channels,
but some of them have a great number of available languages. Note that the
audio channel will also depend on the channel type.
