Traditionally status messages tend to be sent to stderr rather than stdout (this means that they don't break Unix pipelines). But that means that to read them you will need to use popen2 (Or the new subprocess module) to access stderr. I don't know for sure that mplayer is dping that but I'd say its a strong possibility.
