I hate to say it, <SHAME> but in the end my test program was faulty </SHAME>. 
The fflush(stdout) after my prints to stdout did the trick. Thanks to Rich for 
pointing this out.

My test program looks something like

#include "everything needed.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    // some checking on argc and argv

    int index = 0;

    while (index != atoi(argv[1]))
    {
        sleep(5);
        printf("command for mplayer\n");	// could be pause or seek
        fflush(stdout);                    // the missing piece...
        index++;
    }

    return 0;
}

In the end, this does exactly what I expected. Next thing is to incorporate 
this into my realy program... Lets see how that goes.
