SSE is detected, now:

MPlayer dev-CVS-030630-12:15-3.2 (C) 2000-2003 Árpád Gereöffy (see DOCS)

CPU: Intel Pentium III Katmai/Pentium III Xeon Tanner (Family: 6, Stepping:
3)
Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled with Runtime CPU Detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!

I will start testing this buil with several files.
