There is a private, undocumented function called 
CPSEnableForegroundOperation() that SDL uses to enable this 
functionality. The relevant file in SDL is:

http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

In particular, the latest changes to that file are relevant:

http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m.diff?r1=1.10&r2=1.11

I have myself adapted these changes for MPlayer; it works quite well.
