Humm.. Is it even posseble to do this without fork? At least it seems
quite hard to make a network server intervined with a movieplayer..

There is an aspect more to my darmon.. it isent only for mplayer its a
controling daemon for the whole system. if I did a module for mplayer
instead i would loose all the other functionalíty. 

The optimal solution for my situation whould be to have a /dev/mpSlave
device to write to! It shoulden't be too har to implement in mplayer.
whould this be something that could be accepted in the main source?
