IMHO: define a new servicetype, call it MediaPlayer, add it to the ServiceTypes line
of the .desktop file for your part, and add to the factory code
of your part:
 if className == "MediaPlayer"
    create a mediaplayer with no GUI (e.g. ctor option)
 else if className == "KParts/ReadOnlyPart" (is it '::'?)
    create a mediaplayer with a GUI
(see e.g. khtml_factory.cpp, KHTMLFactory::createPartObject)

In any case, don't let Konqueror, which asks for a KParts/ReadOnlyPart,
get no widget in return.
