Supporting the command line option is trivial in mplayerosx and is a  
good fix for the current frontend, we are currently not able to have  
multiple instance of maplayerosx running.
I will modify mplayerosx to support  this option and I dont think  
backward compatibility is an issue (maybe you can set the default to  
"mplayerosx" if the cmd line is not set).

thanks
