From what I can find it is just a wrapper, that SDL is useful in programs where the author doesn't have to do a lot of platform specific coding. Since MPlayer includes DirectX, Direct3D, GL & DSound video outputs it isn't really necessary.

Well, it might be better maintained and for vos it also supports windib which does not use any Direct* stuff.
But honestly I don't think anyone will miss it.
