    Joel,

    I've written simple mplayer wrapper written in gtk. It uses the slave
    mode to get the progress of the media "get_percent_pos" and reads the
    answer 'ANS_PERCENT_POSITION'. Look in callbacks.c and look for the
    functions thread_query and thread_reader.

    Here is the website for it:

    I've got some improvements for that app that I have not released yet,
    but they should be out in a couple of days.

Thanks a lot Kevin, that's will help me. Another question, I didn't found anything about how to get the streaming information like radio station, bitrate, current song playing, etc. the slave mode seems to have no commands for achieve that.

Best regards.
