How to stop mplayer from resuming play when any key is pressed (slave mode)?

This is bad behavior. there's a 'p' button in normal mode, and a "pause" command in slave mode so that you can control pause and unpause nicely. pressing the letter, oh, say...'x' shouldn't have anything to do with pausing and the like. But it does.

Anyone know a way around this?

My apologies for bumping such an old thread, but this is the only search result relating to this query I can find.

I've just started using mplayer and have everything tuned just as I like it, except for this issue. I would like to be able jump in and out of fullscreen mode without my video resuming. As lumix wants, I only wish for mplayer to pause/unpause when SPACE or p is pressed.

Any ideas?
