+``audio-file``, ``sub-file``, ``external-file``
+ These options/properties are actually lists of filenames. To make the
+ command-line interface easier, each ``--audio-file=...`` option appends
+ the full string to the internal list. However, when used as properties,
+ every time you set the property as a string the internal list will be
+ replaced with a single entry containing the string you set. ``,`` or other

+ corresponding API, e.g. ``mp.set_property_native()`` with a table in Lua)
+ to set multiple entries.
+
+ Strictly speaking, option access via API (e.g. ``mpv_set_option_string()``)
+ has the same problem, and it's only a difference between CLI/API.

aliases which don't conflict have been added). After the deprecation period
