Would you mind being more specific about which package you are suggesting I try?
The package my error report refers to is the one that was delivered with Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot remember if it came as default or whether I downloaded it with the Ubuntu Software Centre. I think it was the latter. I most certainly did not get it any other way than an an automated Ubuntu source. It is interesting that you raise this point because I miss the old vanilla Mplayer I had been using in recent years and regret very much that it does not appear to be optioned in the Ubuntu Software Centre any more.
