I don't think it's either too hard nor complicated to fix this, but I
unfortunately think that few devs are interested in getting icc to
work "all the time" with MPlayer. The reason being IMHO that most devs
run AMD chips (for which icc doesn't make as much sense as for Intel
chips), and don't have it in standard in their machine, therefore
don't use it.

There has been some fixes applied to MPlayer's tree in the past to
make it compilable with icc, so if you send one, I'm sure we'll
consider it.

... and if you can't do it by yourself, maybe you can get someone to
do it for you if you place a bounty on it:
