./configure --disable-alsa --disable-caca --disable-lua --disable-nls --disable-libv4l2 \
            --disable-dvbpsi --disable-dbus --disable-dbus-control --disable-qt4 \
            --disable-sdl --disable-skins2 --disable-speex --disable-xcb --disable-xvideo \
            --enable-a52 --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad \
            --enable-flac --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-mad \
