Y If the system use one processor, and another program (like MPlayer) the other it should free up some extra power right?
The application is using system components, which are used/modified by the other cpu. You would need mechanisms to keep data intact and this is not possible without loosing compatibly with all applications out there.
Even "just" using mplayer decoders with a second cpu is not as easy as it sounds. Where are the datas coming from? Where do they go after being processed? This is more complicated than it looks.
