I am not really sure about the highest version number that worked for
me (I guess the last one that was on testing before 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1-1)

I've reinstalled the squeeze version 2:1.0~rc3++final.dfsg1-1 and it
works just fine.

No. Sorry, I am doing it just now.

no, it does not support altivec.

I *guess* this is not a duplicate of #410926 where mplayer complained
about a different subject:

"MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: init_video_codec"

This is my the output of _mplayer -v /tmp/teste.mpg_ and in my case it
doesn't get to the part where mplayer tries to open codecs. (I can
listen to audio tracks in all files via the -novideo option)

MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: demux_open
- MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'.
  It may be a bug in our new runtime CPU-detection code...
  Please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
possible bug.
 [ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
   '--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
   'mplayer-dbg'.]

OK! I wasn't really aware of that. As a was doing what you order

# aptitude -r install  libavcodec52=4:0.6.1-5

I ended up with mencoder and mplayer from stable and that's working
well too.
