       -dumpaudio (MPLAYER only)
                 Dumps raw compressed audio stream to ./stream.dump
 (useful with mpeg/ac3).

        -dumpfile <filename> (MPLAYER only)
              Specify which file MPlayer should dump  to.   Should  be
              used  together  with -dumpaudio / -dumpvideo / -dumpstream.

       -dumpstream (MPLAYER only)
                 Dumps the raw stream to ./stream.dump.
                 Useful when ripping from DVD or network.
