I believe this should blank your framebuffer:
ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -noglobalalpha -localalpha
Note the 'fb1' part might need adjusting on your box. Also, I don't know if
it will preclude mplayer from outputting, nor if the frontend will display
properly once mplayer exits. I'm not near my box to test that part out.
