Elinks: Controling Media Player

[Ralph W. Reid]

I usually run mplayer from within lynx, but I should think the same
technique should work on your system.  While mplayer is running
(buffer values being displayed, maybe some audio playing, etc), try
pressing CTRL-C.  On my system, pressing CTRL-C causes mplayer to
produce a message about an interrupt taking place in some module or
other, and then mplayer terminates.

HTH, and have a _great_ day!
