I want to know if is posible to control a mplayer running in one
console, from another one. Or how could I give orders to that mplayer
if I can't access to the console where it was created.


Assumiing that you're running Linux, or some reasonably close relative,
and that I'm not misremembering anything important:

mkfifo mplayer-remote-control
mplayer -slave -input file=mplayer-remote-control

And then, when you want to tell MPlayer to execute "command":

echo "command" > mplayer-remote-control

from any console. IIRC, "command" can be any of the commands listed in
DOCS/tech/slave.txt.
