Hi!
I think it is a nice idea. But actually using threads for this wouldn't be

I switched to threads - maybe I did something lame than.

ps: no flame or anything, just wondering what advantages one thread has
compared to several threads - when I run mplayer there are 100 other
processes, so switching around 10 more processes wouldn't add much overhead
imho.
