I'd rather suggest that you change the concept of your plugin.
For example:
Your MP3Player is separated from VDR's player infrastructure. You may well 
derive it from cPlayer, but do not attach it to a device. It has a 
thread-safe control interface (be it derived from cControl) and runs in its 
own thread.
The plugins' MainMenuAction returns a menu structure which provides full 
control over MP3Player (Start/Stop/Playlist etc.).
So the mp3 stuff does not affect any other functionality of VDR.

This is simply a quick idea, the way I would have tried it.
