mplayer is quite lacking in this respect, too;
one possible solution could be extending the config section
of the filters adding a couple of items to ask mplayer
the content of the log file and a description of the format.
Hopefully mplayer's parser can be used to
parse the rows and pass the values to the requesting filter
