Description
How to reproduce
Invoke ffplay from non-graphical console (e.g., tty3 with empty DISPLAY environment variable)
% ffplay file.mp3 % ffplay http://url.com/file.mp3 % ffplay -nodisp file.mp3 % ffplay -nodisp http://url.com/file.mp3
What happens:

What I would have expected of ffplay:
Playing file.mp3.

Yes, patchnodisplay.diff solved this problem (only #1402).
When providing -nodisp, ffplay works even in no-DISPLAY consoles.
"Comment 2" (see above) remains still valid for commands like ffplay file.mp3
but may belong to #1401 rather then to this defect.
ffplay -nodisp file.mp3
now works fine everywhere.

I'd rather use a patch like the one I attached.
It uses the display_disable instead of video_disable (which involves the visualization with display enabled) and also keeps the status line in the display disabled case.
Can you try it as well?
Comment 1: related to #1401
Comment 2: This happened in xterm on the graphical tty (tty7) in KDE4:
The interesting thing is that I don't see this text but I see the last non-graphical tty I visited.
Nevertheless I am on tty7 and all key presses go to KDE4 environment. I have to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back the graphical view.
Please mind that this happens independent of the use of the -nodisp ffplay flag.
