There already *is* a better set of hooks in MPlayer. Ever other MPlayer GUI
except for GMPlayer uses -slave mode. I use KPlayer, and although there's a
few rough edges it generally works very nicely.
Obviously -slave mode will need some improvement in future--at the very least
it needs to accept commands while paused--but I think it's a much better
architecture for integrating a GUI. It'd be nice if someone ported GMPlayer to
use -slave mode, but it doesn't look like anyone's got the motivation.
