Uh, that has not really anything to do with -user-agent - you compiled
MPlayer with xmms plugin support, which is disabled for a very good
reason since a lot of plugins are _completely unstable_ and will crash
all the time with MPlayer.
Either recompile without it, or remove any plugins that cause a crash
(and risk that the remaining ones may cause a crash from time to time,
too).
