There is nothing special about mplayer - it's just the app that was
known to work with slimserver and works with all the main platforms/OS
and the same app works for RealAudio, WMA, AAC and AACplus so it
simplifies installation.

A specific feature of the current use of mplayer was that it enabled
slimserver to strip off the icy message so that the SB displays the
text that is in the streams (i.e usually saying what's playing). 

In the Slimserver context what specific advantages has gstreamer over
mplayer ?
