Well, I want it to keep what I'm watching in a small window while I switch
between other desktops (scratching the proverbial itch).

I'd be perfectly happy to add a '-sticky' option or '-vo corevideo:sticky'
parameter, or some such.

mplayer -ontop -fixed-vo -geometry 320x240-0-50 -sticky ...

If built with the 10.5 or newer SDK (so the constant used was defined) it
should be fine; the message name, etc. is resolved when used at runtime,
so it would throw an exception on older platforms *if* the version check
wasn't used to bypass it.
