I can confirm that if mplayer is run in the background that it will not show as a launcher icon (.desktop), though I've never expected it to.
If you add a line to the .desktop - Terminal=true then you will get the expected results & the terminal will minimize to the launcher icon if desired, - though see below
Attached screen shows

What I use is 2 mplayer .desktops w/ the term line & a MimeType= line, 1 for all audio/video types, 1 for playlists,
In my case I do add them to the launcher for Drag & Drop , though r. click from nautilus also works fine

(currently there may be a bug about a process running in a minimized terminal crashing compiz when it ends & the terminal exits in a minimized state
