I'd say that's the whole point.  Mplayer is a very slick command line,
file/stream-based player.  There are other programs out there that are
designed for other tasks, mainly xine for a GUI player, and ogle for a
dvd player solution with navigation.  Don't try making mplayer be what
it isn't, especially if you're not ready to write the code for it.  We
don't need another GNU hello.

  OG.
