The application name for MPlayer is - oh wonder - mplayer.
You can use any mplayer commands and even pass more than one command by
separating them with \n. Don't forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc
when it make sense (seek, volume, etc). Here's an excerpt from my

To run MPlayer you will need to re-compile the kernel with - "options USER_LDT" (unless you are running -CURRENT, where this is default). - If you have a CPU with SSE also use "options CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to use it - (FreeBSD-STABLE required, or use kernel patches).

You will have to go to the MPlayer directory, and copy or symlink
etc/cygwin_inttypes.h to /usr/include/inttypes.h to
make MPlayer compile. Otherwise it will complain about missing
intypes.h.
Since there is no support for Win32 DLLs under Cygwin and OpenGL and mpdvdkit

+ ./configure --disable-win32 --disable-gl --disable-mpdvdkit.
SDL has also been reported to work after some tweaking:

+ supported, so please do not report bugs!
