ok.

Most probably not, I never claimed to do that yet. I just want to help adding
a tiny but desperately needed feature to mplayer, and of course I didn't
read the whole source or know what every function does.

If you can give me a reference to a description of the basic layout
I'll read it and maybe it enables me to write a patch that pleases you,
but if it's your precondition for anyone who wants to submit a patch
that one has complete insight in every aspect of the code, I cannot help.

But not sufficient. One needs to clear the console screen
before playing, and also you'd at least need to redirect 
stderr too to make sure some minor error messages won't clutter
the screen: "clear; mplayer [options] file >/dev/null 2>&1"
I think this cumbersomeness is reason enough for an oh-so-simple
switch...
