I tested: 
mplayer Version: 1.0~rc2-17 which works fine and links against 
libavcodec.so.51 => /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51 (0x00007fc654c98000)
libxine1 Version: 1.1.14-3 with xine-ui Version: 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2 which 
shows the border and doesn't seem to link to libavcodec at all (at least 
neither /usr/lib/libxine.so.1 nor /usr/bin/xine do) and
vlc Version: 0.8.6.h-1 which shows the border and links against 
libavcodec.so.51 => /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51 (0x00007f166854e000)

I tested it with libavcodec51 Version: 0.svn20080206-12 (from Debian 
repository) and libavcodec51 Version: 3:20080706-0.2 (from 
debian-multimedia.org) which gives the same results. For me it now seems 
likely that libavcodec doesn't cause the problem itself but either the way 
vlc and xine are using it or some other library used when playing theora 
videos.

Helmut
