Ingredients: * mplayer -input file=<fifo> * support for obtaining the time of the currently playing file (I think this may be missing in mplayer, but easy to add) * a local program that couples the FIFO with the network * a remote program (possibly a central server) that resyncs the video streams of all mplayer instances connected through the daemons using commands mplayer accepts over the FIFO. Especially useful for resyncing are "speed_incr?0.01" / "speed_incr?-0.01".
