I really should have checked that, but the man pages for mplayer & mpv
are so long, I fear that I have never managed to get through
everything :-) It looks as if mpv has similar options.

Thanks for finding this.

But I do wonder whether there are other programs that will seek
some pulseaudio libary before alsa without such overrides, in which
case there might be problems.
