[MPlayer-dev-eng] Slave-mode idle loop patch

[Timothy Lee]

Dear Selwyn,

Here is my version of the slave-mode idle loop patch.  It adds a 
'-daemon' option instead of modifying the original behavior of the 
'-slave' option.  The commands 'loadfile', 'loadlist', 'switch_ratio' 
and 'quit' are supported.

My rational for the extra option is that some programs may depend on the 
default behavior of the '-slave' option to function properly.  (ie:  
MPlayer always exits when a movie has stopped playing).  One application 
that comes to mind is mplayerd.


Regards,
Timothy
