"-af-add export" option causes mkv playback failure

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. launch gnome-mplayer from the console in verbose mode and retrieve the 
options
2. launch mplayer from the console with the same option set (but -slave and 
-wid)
3. watch it failing :-)
4. remove "af-add export=/tmp/mplayer-af_exporttdxqwt:512"
5. watch it working!

excerpt of the console log when it fails : 
[export] Exporting to file: /tmp/mplayer-af_exporttdxqwt
[export] Memory mapped to file: /tmp/mplayer-af_exporttdxqwt (0xb77b5000)
[format] Sample format big-endian AC3 not yet supported 
Erreur de pré-initialisation de la chaîne de filtres audio !

the last sentence translates to "Error in pre-initializing the audio filters 
chain"

This is with :
- gnome-mplayer v1.0.7
- mplayer patched with vaapi support from gitorious.org/vaapi/mplayer 
(SVN-r35107)
- ffmpeg snaphot from today

I am not too sure about what your export does to the playback... But I have 
never
ever used this option :-)

Thanks for your support

Can you try GMTK from SVN? I put in a fix that should work around this issue. 
The export filter is used to provide data to the audio meter widget, so by 
disabling this for this type of media, the audio meter will display no data.

just works!
Thanks a *lot* for your responsiveness... And the explanations for the use of 
the option.

take care,
Seb.
