The point is: XMMS exists and it is good, but it
doesn't  work in framebuffer, so it isn't suitable to
a stand alone multimedia player, as many people are
doing. And even in X, I want mplayer to do something
like that.

I'm not asking for it becomes an official part of the
MPlayer, I only want to put this as a optional module,
a plug-in, so people like me who want that, get the
thing and use.
