Well, but you should ask their what binutils they have, and what compiler
was used for compilation of kernel, libc, X11 and mplayer.
I already quoted to Felix one message from mailing-list of linuxassembly.org, 
but now want to quote it for all:
# a few days ago I wrote an email message asking for help on segmentation fault in libc compilation.
# The problem was binutils package: in fact, it works fine with bu 2.10.1 and it does not work with but
# 2.10.1.0.4 (latest stable).
# So I resolved my problem by down-grading the binutils package :-)
# Thanks to mr Konstantin Bold and Nick Kurshev for their help.
# I hope you will find this useful for further discussion,

I already replied to Andreas Ackermann that solving of this problems requires a lot of changes
(if it's truth that mplayer runs several processes on separate cpus)

I mean that AVI is not always DivX, it may contain even MPEG-1. It's data medium only.
