mpv discovery

mpv, fork of mplayer2, fork of MPlayer, is a fantastic media player.

I just discovered by accident that it binds ga and gs to switch audio track and subtitles interactively. What a game changer for me! Good opportunity to point to the default key bindings.

I cannot resist sharing my config, which requires brew install molten-vk on Mac, and is ready for SmoothVideo.
