Thanks a lot. I'll have a look.

My first goal is to entirely understand how gmplayer works with / is
integrated into MPlayer and to improve it a little bit by doing this.

The question really is whether it is worth putting effort into gmplayer or
into slave options (currently don't know anything about these) for other
GUIs. (I'd like to have a look at gnome-mplayer if Kevin could make it
compile without dbus or other dependencies.)

If there is an equivalent or better simple, gtk-only GUI, gmplayer can go.
If not, it might be removed from the MPlayer source tree but stay as one of
several GUIs.
