Completely seems too strong to me, but it is a bit broken probably, having timestamps starting with negative values.
I don't think it is possible to enable the behaviour of -loop 0 at the start via slave interface.
That loop 0 applies to the whole playlist, and the loop property only applies to the files.
If you do not need to toggle it, you can however start MPlayer already with -loop 0 -slave -idle, I think that should work.
In addition to that, the loop seek in mplayer.c should be changed to do a percent seek to the start when -ss is not given/it is 0.
