    I have enough with this. You have to call mplayer with '-slave' switch:

mplayer whateveryouwanttoplay.avi -slave

then you must give the commands _on_the_console_ (no pipe!). The man says:
"MPlayer will read commands separated by a newline (\n) from stdin.", so you
simply give:

audio_delay <value> <return>

to "Adjust the audio delay by <value> seconds."

I think it is quite clear, isn't it?
