I can  confirm that  if mplayer is run in the background that it will not show 
as a launcher icon (.desktop), though I've never expected it to.
If you add a line to the .desktop  - Terminal=true then you will get the 
expected results & the terminal will minimize to the launcher icon if desired, 
- though see below
Attached screen shows

What I use is 2 mplayer .desktops w/ the term line & a MimeType= line, 1 for 
all audio/video types, 1 for playlists,
In my case I do add them to the  launcher for Drag & Drop , though  r. click 
from nautilus also works fine

(currently there may be a bug about a process running in a minimized
terminal crashing compiz when it ends & the terminal exits in a
minimized state
