This doesn't seem to happen on i386, as it is an older binary that was
compiled with gcc-4.5. However amd64, we see gcc-4.6 to be used that
causes such symptoms. This issue will also hit the mplayer1 package!

Not sure if mplayer2 has already a fix for that in git, Uoti, can you
please notify us/me if this has been updated in git or if we can do
something else about it?
