How about making user-defined filter activate on input event, would that
be too hard?

For example, is there a way of toggling yadif filter on/off? It is
the only descent deinterlacing filter that mplayer has, quality of the
rest of them is either poor (md, l5) or just unacceptable (the rest of
them). IMHO, if mplayer would get the ability to turn deinterlacing
on/off on keypress, yadif filter definitely should be used. Or, as an
alternative, the filter that user has choosen in config..
