The problem is that you're trying to use a system-wide installed
libavcodec rather than compiling it as part of mplayer, AND you've
included liba52 in libavcodec. This will conflict with the copy of
liba52 inside mplayer and cause linking to fail. Either (preferably)
build libavcodec as part of mplayer (this will ensure that lavc cvs
gets updated to latest version whenever you update mplayer, which is a
very good thing), or else build your system-wide copy of libavcodec
without liba52.
