There is no mplayer output to include. The output is standard and from 
the point of view of the terminal there is no problem. Even running 
with -vv there are no changes.

Yea I know I am being somewhat pushy but I am a mac user and I often 
ask for help in here and one or two people will respond and then the 
topic goes off and nothing happens. I've had to email developers 
directly to get them to fix the changes they made that broke certain 
things as no one was responding. Mac users need to make more noise than 
usual.
I understand the open source mentality to an extent, I intend to write 
some of my own open source programs when I learn to code (which I will 
be doing quite soon).

If people would like I could get on IRC and someone can work me like a 
remote control telling me what to type (within gdb for example) to try 
and fix this problem. Anything I can do to help I would gladly do.
