Actually, the next generation of mplayer (mplayer G2) will have no front end at all, it will pretty much just be a lib. So they are working towards what you are telling them to avoid.
I think this is good, firstly as it's 'the unix way' of letting their code be easily used by any number of media players (with better integration then there is at present), and also it means they no longer put effort into a making a gui that no-one likes anyway.
IMHO, it's not about having your name in big letters, it's about making the very best software, so their plan makes sense.
