Yes.  It works.  There is no magic trick.  Have you even tried it yet?

Just "mplayer -slave some.video.file" or "mplayer -slave -idle" and
start sending commands over stdin.  If you are doing this manually, of
course, you'll want the app compiled as a console app.  If you are
using using CreatePipe/CreateProcess to launch the app and interface
to it's stdin/stdout, it doesn't matter whether it's a console app.
