--info --query

Hi,

I'm currently having some problems with mplayer, so I tried to get some info on
the package (eg. compile options, email of the maintainer)

$ pacman -Q mplayer
only returns the name/version of the package ("mplayer 1.0pre7-1")

$ pacman -i mplayer
$ pacman -i /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mplayer-1.0pre7-1.pkg.tar.gz

both return nothing. This seems to be the case for all packages.
Shouldn't there be some more info? Am I using it wrong?

Cheers
