MPlayer integration
From Organic Design wiki
Mplayer has become somewhat of a monolithic application in the linux world. Our use of mplayer will be to delegate to it the task which it does best, while retaining control over all other aspects. In particular the user interface provided by mplayer is somewhat primitive (athough extensible). It does however allow a bitmap overlay to be done in real to via a pipe. This enables another program to generate the interface and have mplayer display it.
