I tried with MPlayer-20030426 (from MPlayer-current.tar.bz2)

Same result!

configure.log:
============ Checking for DVB ============
...
/tmp/mplayer-conf-10682-8839.c:7: ost/dmx.h: No such file or directory
/tmp/mplayer-conf-10682-8839.c:8: ost/frontend.h: No such file or directory
/tmp/mplayer-conf-10682-8839.c:9: ost/sec.h: No such file or directory
/tmp/mplayer-conf-10682-8839.c:10: ost/video.h: No such file or directory
/tmp/mplayer-conf-10682-8839.c:11: ost/audio.h: No such file or directory

Result is: no (specify path to DVB/ost/include with --with-extraincdir=DIR)

===================

All except sec.h are in DVB/include/linux/dvb/
Which come from www.linux-dvb.tv   (21.4.03)

ost/sec.h is #included in libmpdemux/dvb_tune.c, libmpdemux/dvbin.h and
libvo/vo_mpegpes.c


Is MPlayer dvb interface supposed to work only with old 0.9.4 drivers?  

Mplayer works with dvbstream. I have to restart both to change
channel.  After doing this couple days, some kernel resource gets used
up and fork() fails. -> have to reboot.  (Probably a driver fault.)
