Ok, just a quick reply...
Well, it adds a big hunk of code to mplayer.c - I don't really like
that, especially as it's system specific. Could it be put in a seperate
file (maybe in osdep??), best even with possibility to disable?
Also I think there are already quite a few escaping/unescaping functions in MPlayer, maybe it's not necessary to add another one, but I don't know...
