The webcam needs to be activated and de-activated by the application (e.g.,
mplayer) on the virtual desktop
...

Why use mplayer for this? Use skype if you want to see a camera from remote.
Then log into the client and startup a video session. 

mplayer can send streams but (and someone correct me if I am wrong), mplayer
is not designed to be a remote media controller. Mplayer is a media receiver
and encoder. 

mplayer can receive many streams which are being streamed. It can be turned
on an off but the remote client control thing is beyond mplayer's core
functionality as I know it.
