It's been so long since I used a .bat file I don't remember; does it
have an echo command?  If it does, can't you just put something like
echo ' '
in the .bat file immediately after you start mplayer?  That is, send a
space to mplayer from the .bat file.

If it doesn't, I think you could install cygwin, and use the (bash?)
shell that comes with it to run your commands instead of the .bat file
from windows. IIRC, it has an echo command.
