I reckon CMML has basic support in VLC, but VLC's Kate support is near
complete.  MPlayer doesn't support either out of the box, though there
is a patch for Kate pending their approval.

There are also Kate patches for the XMMS forks, xine and gstreamer.

If you're looking for a recommendation, I'd say Kate is a solid
choice.  Writ is vaporware, and CMML seems to have been scrapped as of
late.
