       -idle (also see -slave)=20
              Makes MPlayer wait idly instead of quitting when there is
              no file to play.  Mostly useful in slave mode where
              MPlayer can be controlled through input commands.

How about this patch against gnome-mplayer? Does this perhaps help?

Other than that, I don't how this can be solved from within
mplayer. Therefore, I'm reassigning back.
