not automatically, Henric!

lode leroy:

RTFM, search the archives!

-stop_xscreensaver or add stop_xscreensaver=yes to your
 ~/.mplayer/config.

Search the archives, there may be known but yet unsolved issue that
restarted xscreensaver blocks some devices. You may write a wrapper
for mplayer:

#!/bin/sh
killall -STOP xscreensaver
mplayer $@
killall -CONT xscreensaver
