Starting a thread from vim to play an mp3

It looks like I posted this as a reply to a thread instead of starting a
new thread. Hope it's not a problem that I repost this question:

I'm trying to make a basic mp3 player plugin for vim and the vim
crashes. Here's what I'm doing:

def f(): os.system("mplayer '%s' >/dev/null 2>&1" % path)

def play(): Thread(target=f).start()

play()

path is the path to mp3 file that script gets from current line.

If I do this from command line, it works fine, but when I run it in vim,
here's the error I get:

Vim: caught deadly signal SEGV

How can I do this? thanks!
