I'm accepting patches :)

Well, I've yet to see an implementation of GoodTaste(tm)! If you have
one, send it over and I'll do a new release of the mplayer.sh ;-)
Seriously, I can see only two ways how to implement this:
- either have the mplayer plugin ask you whether you want to play it via
DVB or soundcard for each file you choose
- or have a list of all files with a second field where you define the
audio output - you don't really want that

Cheers,
