That is basically what I wanted to know. I had hoped all Guis used -wid,
but obviously on OSX things are again different than anywhere else.
Two issues though
1) these options and their purpose must be documented in the man page
2) is shared_buffer only useful for frontends? if not, i.e. it might be
   useful when using MPlayer as a command-line player the PID should
   be added by default.
