I'm struggling with the use of keyboard keys when using freevo
with mplayer.

While using the freevo menu, playing audio, images, etc., the
keyboard uses the freevo keybindings as I would expect.  When
I watch videos or movies using mplayer, I need to use the mplayer
keyboard mappings.  I am under the impression that mplayer would
use the keyboard mappings from freevo, since freevo sends the
commands to mplayer since it's operating as a slave to freevo.

This is causing me problems because I'm using an RF remote,
not an LIRC device.  I need to issue commands from the remote
using the a2x program which sends keyboard strokes to the
current X application.  My keyboard strokes appear to be sent to the
mplayer application (which consumes the entire screen) instead
of freevo.

My problem is caused by the fact I cannot determine at the
unix level if freevo is using mplayer for video, images, or audio.
When watching videos, I need to use the mplayer keydefs,
otherwise the freevo keydefs (audio and images).

Does this make sense to anyone?  Is there anyway I can determine
at the unix shell level if mplayer is being used for videos vs audio?

Thanks,

Jim Duda
