Maybe you'll find this useful, from the man page:
You can also write file-specific configuration files. If
you wish to have a config file for a file called
'movie.avi', create a file named 'movie.avi.conf' with the
file-specific options in it and put it in ~/.mplayer or in
the same directory as the file.
There's also an "-include" option, to specify arbitrary conf files.
