I briefly tested 20100130 yesterday and it worked fine.  Right now,  
I'm building 20100131.  I used mplayer for years but gave it up  
because of it not being updated and found other tools that worked  
better for what I needed although I wasn't as comfortable with them.   
It looks like I am back to mplayer thanks to your non-trivial work to  
build the port and the dependencies synchronized and working.  THANKS!
