I tried to run mplayer with this option but it didn't work for me.
My first attempt was to create a transparent .png to use as wallpaper and the
runing mplayer. No luck.
The second attempt was to use mplayer, with all the arguments as a progran in
KDE's controll center/background. No luck there either.
I've managed to get chbg to run as a program but the drawback is that the
desktop then becomes invisible.
I think the problem is that KDE puts iteslf over X's root window.
