[MPlayer-users] Unable to play MPEG4's on Solaris

I'm using the latest CVS sources from 10 October 2005 19:39 GMT; I'm
receiving this error when trying to play an MPEG4 (XviD encoded):

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: play_audio

I've spoken to another Solaris/mplayer user and they're encountering the
same problems.  DVDs play fine.

The system, itself, is an SB1000 /w dual UltraSPARC-III processors
running Solaris 10.  MPlayer was built with "./configure
--prefix=/home/dlewis/bin/mplayer --disable-gl --disable-sdl", medialib
enabled, and -O2 -mcpu=v9 optimizations using gcc 3.4.2.
