echo -n p | mplayer file
Then you can't control mplayer via console (but still via window). An odd way
to keep control from a console is doing something like this:
mkfifo pipe
echo -n p > pipe & mplayer file < pipe
And then from another console:
cat > fifo
p[Ctrl-d]*[Ctrl-d]/[Ctrl-d]q[Ctrl-d]...
(But I could not use arrow keys in this way.)
