Description
It'd be great if there was a mode that outputs the status on the terminal only e.g. once or twice a second. Probably this should even be the default. This way even small terminals don't suffer, but you still know what's going on.
(I'm talking about this:
A: 0.5 V: 0.5 A-V: -0.013 ct: -0.029 13/ 13 ??% ??% ??,?% 1 0)

This is D. Jansen's patch, modified by me according to Reimar's review comments. Most of the credit belongs to D. Jansen.
I took the liberty to:
- rename the option to "status-rate-max" (it's still a poor name)
- change it to use milliseconds
I also moved the code to print_status(), since adjust_sync_and_print_status() is only being called for video files.

I tend not to notice the flaws in my patch until shortly after submission...

a later patch version after some review

Good idea to move the code. Really sad this simple tweak hasn't made it. There was some review (http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2009-June/061688.html), I've attached the last patch. In the end nothing came of it.
This patch often makes the difference between playing well and stuttering on my netbook and when using vaapi it reduces the total system cpu usage by about 50 %.
The name was chosen to be similar to -quiet and jump into the eye, as the goal is similar.

Since it is not visible in the thread view: Please also note my last review http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2009-August/062077.html
The current version of the patch as far as I can tell will after an average of 25 days (depending on the current time - it might happen between right after startup or after 49 days) stop updating the status line for about 49 days.
My review also contains suggested code on how to fix that.
I'm not subscribed to the mailing list, but I figure the author of the "quiet-time" patch [1] might read this.
I find the option name -quiet-time is rather confusing, and would rather see it named something like "status-delay" or "status-wait" or "quiet-status" or "print-status"
Furthermore, I don't really see why it needs to be in tenths of a second. Milliseconds would do just as well, and would offer more flexibility (4 times per second is impossible now).
