Oops, I overlooked that I am working with a partially-applied patch now, 
namely this etc/codecs.conf change:

As the above mail says, this prevents mplayer/mencoder from misinterpreting 
-mf png input as BGR32 when it is really BGR24.. However, I am not sure 
anymore if the bug was actually fixed, since there was no commit to 
libmpcodecs/vd_mpng.c this year.
