ok, i think that i know!!

i am on debian testing here - julian you too?

if yes, i had (perhaps) the same problem about a week ago, because 
updating some x-related packages. at that point not only mplayer, but 
everything what does viedeo was not working any more - vlc, ome, xjadeo, 
ffplay....

what i did, i extended the /etc/apt/sources.lst with a 'etch' entry 
again and reinstalled 13 x-packages from stable again.
i still did not found out which one exactly was causing this problem, 
but i really should do!

perhaps you have the same issue. which is demonstrating in another way?

cheers,
