Bash completion for mplayer doesn't include SSA/ASS

[Firas Kraïem]

When using Tab-completion to launch mplayer from the command line with the -sub option, SSA/ASS subtitling scripts are ignored, e.g. :

mplayer -sub subtitles.ass video.avi

Simply adding the relevant keywords to /etc/bash_completion solves this.

I've prepared an updated package in my PPA which should fix the bug you reported.

If you're using hardy I'd appreciate it if you could test it and report whether your bug is indeed fixed and also whether you experienced any other regressions.

You can get the package from here:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13042048/bash-completion_20060301-3ubuntu2%7Eppa2_all.deb

To install it:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13042048/bash-completion_20060301-3ubuntu2%7Eppa2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i dpkg -i bash-completion_20060301-3ubuntu2~ppa2_all.deb

To go back to the original package, do this:
sudo aptitude install bash-completion/hardy

If I don't get reports of regressions I'll try to get this version into hardy.

Thanks for your help!
