Try Freevo, it does just that with MPlayer :-)

What I did in Freevo was to emulate the keypresses just like you're
asking about. If you don't want to use Freevo and instead write a
program to somehow convert lirc commands to keypresses, these are the
definitions that are used:

     mplayerKeys = {
         'DOWN'           : '\x1bOB',
         'INFO'           : 'o',
         'KEY_1'          : '+',
         'KEY_7'          : '-',
         'LEFT'           : '\x1bOD',
         'NONE'           : '',
         'NEXT'           : '>',
         'QUIT'           : 'q',
         'PAGEUP'         : '\x1b[5~',
         'PAGEDOWN'       : '\x1b[6~',
         'PAUSE'          : ' ',
         'PLAY'           : ' ',
         'PREV'           : '<',
         'RIGHT'          : '\x1bOC',
         'STOP'           : 'q',
         'UP'             : '\x1bOA',
         'VOLUMEUP'       : '*',
         'VOLUMEDOWN'     : '/',
         'DISPLAY'        : 'o'
         }

Where '\x1bOC' means 'ESC O B'
