I just recompiled the mplayer2 package without the flag
--enable-runtime-cpudetection on this notebook and it works perfectly.

If all else fails, perhaps it is the case of building two packages: one
without altivec and another with altivec.

I have not tried to debug this further (I have a baby that is *very* soon
going to be born and all the preparations are taking most of my time and my
wife's).
