 Don't know if it makes sense for us to check if it could solve our
 case problem...

It was discussed on the list a couple of weeks ago. I think the
conclusion was that it is technically infeasible. Here is a link to the
thread:

 I currently do not use any GUI for it, so mplayer may only killed
 with  any usefull signal to pause.
 Then how to restart it again.

Assuming you can detect when an incoming call arrives, the following
should be helpful:

A generic way to control terminal programs, that were not designed
with remote control in mind, is to use GNU Screen [1]. Start your
program like this:

$ screen -dmS SOME_NAME COMMAND_TO_RUN

Now you can send input to the program by stuffing input to screen:

$ screen -S SOME_NAME -X stuff INPUT_TO_RUNNING_PROGRAM

It is also possible to interact directly with the running program by
attaching to the screen session:

$ screen -S SOME_NAME -r

Detach with C-a-d.
