Thanks for the suggestion.
Now I am able to execve a mplayer process but without the widget option 
(-wid) in its own window. But with the -wid option it does'nt work.
I have added a gtksocket to the window and then execve the mplayer 
process with the window id of the socket for the -wid option but still 
mplayer gets started and could see its playing logs but the video window 
does'nt show up. I looked up the gnome-mplayer code which looks fairly 
similar approach but could not figure out what I am doing wrong.
Is there samples for mplayer widget embeding?
