Because it's a bug in mplayer, and should be fixed there. Mplayer should 
not second-guess the user and blindly insert an "r" into a perfectly 
valid device name (/dev/acd0 -> /dev/racd0.)

Also, fixing the port fixes it for everybody, while this change needs to 
be made by everyone manually. (Unless you propose adding this to the 
default devfs rules.)
