Huh? that function is available in CVS, what is the problem with it? Or
did you only test pre7?

If you don't use -quiet you can parse the statusline output. Doing it
differently is difficult because the main loop is not executed when
MPlayer is paused. And currently MPlayer does not have a not playing
state I think?

manually resizing does not preserve aspect unless your windowmanager does
it.

Not sure if those two shouldn't preferably be implemented via the -wid
interface (though I know this is difficult to use from e.g. Java).

Might be nice to have, though there is no guarantee it will work, since
it depends on the window manager.

-screenwidth/-screenheight or some of the other options might actually do it...
