Erm, what?
$ man mplayer
.
.
        -stop-xscreensaver (X11 only)
               Turns off xscreensaver at startup and turns it on again on exit.
               If  your  screensaver supports neither the XSS nor XResetScreen-
               Saver API please use -heartbeat-cmd instead.

That being said, that flag didn't work for me with gnome-screensaver (it 
works just fine with xscreensaver).  The referenced "heartbeat-cmd" flag 
and the example included in the manpage works just fine, though.  Any of 
those options can be included in one's ~/.mplayer/config file to be 
automatically used during any mplayer session.
