The ``--args`` (or ``-A``) flag to the ``play`` command lets you specify
additional arguments for your player command. Options are inserted after the
configured ``command`` string and before the playlist filename.

For example, if you have the plugin configured like this::

play:
command: mplayer -quiet

and you occasionally want to shuffle the songs you play, you can type::

$ beet play --args -shuffle

to get beets to execute this command::

mplayer -quiet -shuffle /path/to/playlist.m3u

instead of the default.
