I think there isn't much I can do.

When the plugin starts mplayer.sh it gets the PID of the shell
process. The trick is to make the shell start mplayer in the same
process. Under bash this is done with "exec".

If ash starts mplayer in a seperate process, the plugin has no
way to get the PID of the actual mplayer process -> no killing.
