I see no point in this, if you really want you should be able to do this
with a command fifo and e.g. netcat. Or a similar tool that supports
SSL.
I anything, it would be nice to have a howto for doing this, but
bloating MPlayer wouldn't be nice...

P.S.: I am still undecided if that was supposed to be a joke...
