I don't like the idea. I think it is better to detect the
filetype inside mplayer.sh and call mplayer accordingly. See the
example script which comes with the patch for a crude example how
to do this (works with divx & mpeg).

If someone have enhanced the script, please send me a copy for
inclusion in the next release.
