Correct me if I'm not right, but, according to mplayer's documentation 
it already has a thread support which allows usage serveral CPU cores 
(Linux smp-kernel must distribute different threads to different cores 
itself):
man mplayer, -lavdopts description:
---
threads=<1-8>
        number of threads to use for decoding (default: 1)
