Agree fully, MPlayer is too verbose IMHO, I have sent and committed a
few patches for moving messages to verbose mode myself.

I'd say we can drop the codecs.conf message (and maybe only warn when
one is loaded) and the CPU information, especially the speed
detection.  The warning about runtime-cpudetection should stay IMHO.
