The global variables are real pain there, especially when moving code 
in to the different file I have to keep eye on them. In case of 
multithreading there should not be any problem unless I use the globals 
outside of the mplayer's thread. I can still make copy of those 
variables that I want to distribute over threads connection. However, 
this will be probably implemented outside of the mplayers code, since 
it depends on GUI needs.
