Hi!
I dont think it is mplayers fault. I have successfully played a video
in an xterm-widget (text-area), and the wid used was not the toplevel-id.
Btw.: mplayerplug-in uses mplayer to show videos in netscape, mozilla and
other application, and there are clearly no toplevel-wids used.

It my be the QT-Toolkit, that makes the problem. I have no idea how QT
could block other processes from writing to its widgets, but as a mater
of fact, playing a video in a KDEs konsole- widget fails too. Sometimes
no video shows up, sometimes it shows up, but in all cases the konsole
is dysfunctionla after that. You have to kill -9 from some other terminal.
