In my tv script I do this before starting xine:
until [ -e "/tmp/vdr-xine/stream" ]; do sleep 1; done

This waits until vdr-xine has started before loading xine itself and
resolves the problem of delayed startups.

I'm using VDR-1.7.6 with xine-0.9.1 and the mplayer plugin just fine.
Maybe you're missing the required
mplayer.sh(.conf)?
