I don't intend to outweigh your solution. My proposal is just an idea in 
parallel, to get more robust against disturbing env settings. Settings, which 
are not directly related to MPlayer but to the libs it is using. So, by 
modifying the env that the libs see, we can guide them to MPlayer's expected 
behaviour.
