Bug#507212: mplayer issues spurious messages

[David Murn]

This bug is also in mplayer version 1.0~rc2+svn20090303-2, and has been
in every version since I submitted this bug (mid 2008), whether or not a
specific subversion has been in unstable or not, the bug has existed
since mid 2008 as evidenced by the package name in my original
submission.
