mplayer is hopeless in this regard because it does not integrate with
the desktop environment (Gnome or KDE) so it has no way to talk to other
apps other than spawning a new process.
With Gnome totem is supposed to handle this better but it's still
horribly buggy and godawful slow and when it does play half the time
it's incapable of even keeping the audio and video in sync.
