My thoughts, but you'll have to wait for Tom's advice:

> smplayer "file 89 file.mp3" 2>/dev/null work OK

Fine.

> smplayer "file '89 file.mp3" 2>/dev/null *NOT* work

You have an apostrophe before 89. Apostrophes are *supposed* to behave
as quotes (") do, i.e in pairs (you need to make sure they are all
closed). Otherwise, escape them with \ (as in \').

I had a discussion with Tom related to the matter, patches were
integrated in emelfm2, but I think the best option (to my great
disappointment) would be to NOT have any filenames including an
apostrophe in a Unix environment (not all apps will behave the same).

> smplayer "file 89 file.mp3" (without /dev/null) *very slow*

Not sure, but it may be related to the amount of text or special
characters sent to the output window. What does smplayer output when
you start n a terminal ?
