There is already a timer as noted by bubnikv, your kindle will go to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity and will shutdown the WiFi. Once the WiFi shuts down mplayer will halt when the buffers are emptied.
What would be nice would be as he requested, to have some optional way to avoid the timeout. I would think the best way to handle this would be for continuous internet activity at 32 kbps or higher to be assumed as an active download/stream and for this to disable the default timeout behavior if desired.
It would be nice if this could be added somehow to the settings for the kindle, but I have no idea what is involved in doing so. I would assume that in the worst case a launchpad started app could insert an innocuous keystroke every 5 minutes or so while it is running. This of course would require a second short cut to disable the app when you want to resume default behavior.
