That's a very useful testcase, thanks for this piece of information!

No, please don't start with vanilla mplayer, but make sure that you use
the source provided from the debian package. It was not taken from the
trunk branch, but from 'branches/1.0rc3'. (or if you insist, make sure
that you take the correct svn branch).

The patches I've pasted are taken from trunk.
