I am able to use non-blocking I/O, but I am unable to get the mplayer status messages. It's just not there in the mplayer output pipe. I just posted on the mplayer community regarding this. To use non-blocking I/O: fcntl.fcntl(<file descriptor>, fcntl.F_SETFL, os.O_NONBLOCK) is enough. If there's nothing to read from a pipe, instead of blocking, an exception is generated.
