Ak prehravas videoCDcka, da sa to obabrat. Je to oficialny bug, mam ho
potvrdeny od tych co to robia:

----------------
You only need a mouse and a bit of luck/training.

So, first comes my config:
RedHat 6.0. PII/266/64

mtv 1.1.0.2-1
SDL 0.9.9-5
xforms 0.88.1-6

I installed mtvp as suid root, so I can watch it fullscreen (but the bug works
also in non-fullscreen mode).

I am only able to reproduce the bug on multi-track video CDs. It is enough
when one track is in ISO9660 format, as I know, all CDs should have an ISO
track. 

Here's how you get it:

- start mtv

- put the CD in

- select "play vcd" (or if you are already working with VCD, select a track).

- wait a few seconds (about 2-3), until mtv reads the sequence info, perhaps
	even until it starts playing the track.

- now, push one of the "select vcd" buttons.

- the old track stops playing and a window appears, urging me to register

- wait till the new track starts playing

- push "register later"

- voila! The progress indicator stops and mtv thinks the movie is stopped, but
	it is not, it is playing, WITH SOUND.

The use is somewhat limited, because you can't change the position in the
movie, but if you only want to watch the track, it works OK. Even switching
between fullscreen and "normal" screen works OK.
