The fact is, that a "real" MacOS X application should sit inside the  
AppleEvent handling loop and perform its work there. The way MPlayer  
works makes this impossible. So, I decided to perform a single "run"  
thru the AppleEvent handler to collect the files provided as  
arguments by the Finder, build a playlist, and continue thru the  
normal MPlayer main(). This is somewhat ugly, but when I did submit  
the patch, it looked like it was the only way for the patch to be  
accepted.
