Doesn't this fail if you specify no path or a relative path to the file 
you want to play?

I'd suggest something like that instead:

#!/bin/sh

path=/tmp/$$

mkdir $path

mkfifo $path/stream.yuv
mkfifo $path/mp1
mkfifo $path/mp2

(cat $path/stream.yuv | tee $path/mp1 > $path/mp2 ) &
mplayer -nocache -quiet -vo x11 $path/mp1 & 
mplayer -nocache -quiet -vo x11 $path/mp2 &
mplayer -nocache -vo yuv4mpeg $*

rm -rf $path
