just a question, (and seperate from making it a plugin) but if a couple of 
libSDL calls could be made to tell Qtopia to let mplayer have the screen, 
would essentially #ifdef ZAURUS be acceptable, or something like that?

Actually the Zaurus has a nearly-full (very mini) keyboard hidden behind the 
buttons on the top (which do work for seeking, and such)
The reason to use it with a gui (it works nicely without a GUI, for most 
things) is that it doesn't play nice with QT/Embedded, as it writes directly 
to framebuffer, and has to be launched from the terminal (which Sharp doesn't 
install by default, because they are trying to have it look as any other PDA 
does, and hide the linux underneath it, for the general user, but it is quite 
easy to add a terminal in or just stop it before Qtopia starts.)

Alas, mplayer isn't finding libSDL (my fault, I am pretty certain), and it 
does have issues (due to resampling/sound and sometimes complex divx files) 
about playing files on the zaurus.
