Nps. I kept the old /usr/local around as /stable/usr/local to copy over 
configs and apache's webroot, but I don't see how that could've interfered, 
as I didn't add it to my PATH or anything fishy like that.

In fact, I did ldd -a /usr/local/bin/mplayer|grep pthread and it only showed 
libpthread.so.2.

Latest of everything. Portstree last updated Dec 17.
Recompiled mplayer without WITH_NVIDIA didn't make a difference. It just 
doesn't get outof the loop in PlayNode(), but I'm not farmiliar with the 
conditions mentioned therein.
Just trying to figure out if this is a local problem, pthreads problem or that 
the port is broken (with certain combinations).
