Hmm, it seem that our personal feelings are quite different. Anyway I 
don't want to pollute code of mplayer with my GUI code. All I want to 
do is completely opposite, remove any UI code from mplayer's core code, 
separating the high level (UI) code from low level (core) and create 
some kind of interface between them. The present mplayer's code is 
polluted (like you're saying) with CLI UI code and even with GTK UI 
code. All is mixed together with mplayer's core code - quite a mess :).
Then I can simply take that code and incorporate it in to my GUI code 
and produce nice well-behaved application for OS that I'm developing 
for. And I thought that someone would welcome it and write the same way 
the GUI for his favorite OS and so on for another OSes.
I don't think it's a bad idea, don't you?
