Is it good? Does it support radio input? Do you know if its still 
possible to get them? I've got a FlyVideo 3000 and the drivers are only 
barely useable. Radio in doesn't work at all. So if anybody knows of 
good radio-in capable TV cards, I'm all ears.

mplayer [options] -fs -xineramascreen <n> <file-list>
where <n> is a number from 0 (primary display) up. Usually you'll want 
xineramascreen 1 for your secondary display.

I don't know about gmplayer, though. I still find it lacking and it has 
the nasty habit of failing to obey command-line params, yet not 
supporting those in the GUI.
