As some suggested you can use a custom input.conf binding to no or buggy
commands. I more drastic solution is to hack mplayer.c to simply disable
all user input with something like this:

 // Init input system
 current_module = "init_input";
 mp_input_init();
 #ifndef HAVE_NO_POSIX_SELECT
 make_pipe(&keyb_fifo_get,&keyb_fifo_put);
#if 0

 if(keyb_fifo_get > 0)
   mp_input_add_key_fd(keyb_fifo_get,1,NULL,NULL);
[...]
   mp_input_add_key_fd(0,0,NULL,NULL);
 #endif
+#endif
 inited_flags|=INITED_INPUT;
 current_module = NULL;

But it may be a bit extremist ;)
