Odds are excellent that something that gets linked to mplayer is trying
to use the wrong thread library. Have you tried mapping all threading to
use libpthread and not to use libc_r? These things are really hard to
track down when plug-ins are used by a program and simply using ldd to
check on what libs are called won't find the problem.
