Dear benjamin,
Saw it. It's nice, but it is not what I want. I want a library that I
can link to any application and run the program without the invocation
of any other thing in the background. From the code of libplayer, what
I understood is that it invokes mplayer as a slave and sends it
commands through a fifo. Please do correct me if I am wrong.

For example, see, when totem plays a movie it does not invoke a
program to render videos on the screen. It links to the gstreamer (or
xine) libraries. I am planning to create something like that.

So I want to create libmplayer: essentially equivalent to libvlc,
xinelib, gstreamer.

Regards,
Santanu
