This much sounds OK at first glance. I haven't bothered with live555
myself so I don't know for certain.

Okay, this is your problem; you ignored one of the most important parts
of the instructions you were given.

You need to use the latest SVN source of MPlayer, not the source to
1.0rc1. 1.0rc1 is more than six months out of date, and very likely is
not compatible with the latest live555.
