Force cache not working anymore?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that force-cache is not implemented yet by the new libgmtk player used 
by v1.0.4

I use this parameter since a lot of my media is played from a remote filesystem 
which is mounted. Without caching a lot of stuttering occurs.

It seems fairly trivial to add this support to libgmtk:

src/libtmtk/gmtk_media_player.c, function 
gmtk_media_player_set_attribute_boolean add:

    case ATTRIBUTE_FORCE_CACHE:
        player->force_cache = value;
        break;

And to use it in gnome-mplayer:
Its read from the config src/main.c @line 544
    forcecache = gm_pref_store_get_boolean(gm_store, FORCECACHE);

I've added a call near here to libgmtk to set this parameter in libgmtk as well:
    gmtk_media_player_set_attribute_boolean(GMTK_MEDIA_PLAYER(media), ATTRIBUTE_FORCE_CACHE, forcecache);

With this change mplayer gets started with the -cache option again for all 
media similar to old versions of gnome-mplayer if the 'Enable mplayer cache' 
setting is ticked under preferences.

Thanks for pointing this out...

Fixed in gmtk r44 and gnome-mplayer r2172
