It's a little odd that nothing happens at all when you hit p. Perhaps p
got re-bound to one of the OSD menu functions or something.

The syntax of input.conf is really easy. Just lots of <key> <command>
lines, like this:

...
p pause
SPACE pause
...

Take a look in the etc directory of your mplayer sources. Several
example configuration files reside there.

The space bar is easier to hit anyway. :)
