Doesen't libdha support a kernel helper? Yep, it needs a kernel patch,
but if you really don't want to make it suid root...

I solved making it :
-rwsrwxr-x    1 root     ndk       3387079 Sep 16 13:48
/home/ndk/bin/mplayer*

So that only root and users in group ndk (I'm the only one :-) ) can run
it...

BYtE,
 Diego.
