The problem with this is that, ttbomk, MPlayer does not support flash
videos directly, but needs a third-party tool to extract the flv, first.

Also, I don't generally want to display _all_ flash-based video content
in a seperate window. What I envision is

  wrap_mplayer.sh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DslTkwON1Bk

(or some such) and then have a mplayer window come up.


Thanks for your input,
