Remove audio output section, it provides little to no useful information.

-Linux sound card drivers have compatibility problems. This is because
-<application>MPlayer</application> relies on an in-built feature of
-<emphasis>properly</emphasis> coded sound drivers that enable them to
-maintain correct audio/video sync. Regrettably, some driver authors
-don't take the care to code this feature since it is not needed for
-playing MP3s or sound effects.

-Other media players like <ulink url="http://avifile.sf.net">aviplay</ulink>
-or <ulink url="http://xinehq.de">xine</ulink> possibly work
-out-of-the-box with these drivers because they use "simple" methods
-with internal timing. Measuring showed that their methods are not as
-efficient as <application>MPlayer</application>'s.

-<para>
-Using <application>MPlayer</application> with a properly written audio
-driver will never result in A/V desynchronisation related to the audio, except
-only with very badly created files (check the man page for workarounds).

-If you happen to have a bad audio driver, try the <option>-autosync</option>
