Yes, that is a known issue with mplayer. I will be contacting mplayer maintainer about this. This happens because mplayer waits for the window to be mapped to begin playing in its code. I have fixed it with few minor modifications here -- http://git.wnohang.net/cgit.cgi/mplayer2.git/. I will try to get it merged upstream.

Is it an option? I can think of times when it would be nice to have mplayer not play until it has a window (presentations come to mind). --Ben
