Really, you don't need QXEmbed. Here is a minimalistic mplayer frontend:

#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qwidget.h>

int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
    QApplication app( argc, argv );
    QWidget *window = new QWidget;
    window->show();
    window->setUpdatesEnabled( false ); //call this when you start the
mplayer process
    qDebug( "Window id=%d", window->winId() );
    app.exec();
    return 0;
}

g++ -o qmplayer qmplayer.cpp -I/usr/share/qt3/include -lqt-mt

run ./qmplayer
and from another shell
mplayer -wid <id-that-is-printed> moviefile
