i much prefer to define a stdio text interface to control mplayer,
just like mpg123 -R.
so anyone can create a front end easely.
attached is the README.remote from mpg123, just for an example...

Control interface to generic frontends
written/copyrights 1997/99 by Andreas Neuhaus (and Michael Hipp)
The generic remote interface allows frontends to easily control
mpg123 by commands through stdin/stdout. To start the generic
remote interface, start mpg123 with parameter -R.
As an example it's used by IRMP3, a tool that allows you to
control mpg123 with a standard infrared remote control. See
http://www.fasta.fh-dortmund.de/users/andy/irmp3/ for more
information.
