You need some window to embed "gnome-mplayer" in it, check its ID by 
"xwininfo", run "gnome-mplayer" with this window ID and then control it 
by DBUS - example:
xwininfo gave me "0x4804d5b" as 1st additional "gnome-termianl" window 
ID and "0x4805bd2" as 2nd

#:~$ gnome-mplayer --window=0x4804d5b --controlid=908 --width=320 
--height=240 &
#:~$ gnome-mplayer --window=0x4805bd2 --controlid=909 --width=320 
--height=240 &
#:~$ dbus-send --type=signal /control/909 com.gnome.mplayer.Volume double:0
#:~$ dbus-send --type=signal / com.gnome.mplayer.Open 
string:"/home/dk75/Film/[J4V] YUI - CHE.R.R.Y.avi"

result:

You could easily take out controls by:
dbus-send --type=signal /control/908 com.gnome.mplayer.SetShowControls 
boolean:false
dbus-send --type=signal /control/909 com.gnome.mplayer.SetShowControls 
boolean:false

Thought, I don't know how to possition embeded gnome-mplayer window 
inside the host window.
