Yea it's all quite possible, and in fact I believe
Joey Parrish has a patch in his cygwin builds that
uses AllocConsole(), so you could always look at that
as well.

As far as IPC is concerned, it's not even necessary
with a commandline version of mplayer, unless you
don't like finishing playback of files :) Nonetheless,
a simple message handler is all that's needed if you
want to give it an idle loop and intercept messages.

Erik
