this is what i supposed it was. but since mplayerosx and mplayosxx run  
the mplayer binary directly (even though it sits in an app bundle  
inside the gui app), this was never really an issue, i suppose.
thanks for enlightening us what the piece of code really does.

about the forgotten bit: i must say, i've been wanting to try my hands  
at integrating mplayerosx into mplayer for quite some time, but i  
couldn't get up the courage (and time) to do it.
if anyone's interested (or has already tried), please raise your  
hands! while the two-apps approach works quite well, it would be much  
nicer to have something like gmplayer for osx.

adrian, you seem to have taken over maintaining the gui part on your  
own, what's your opinion?
