How to make it ?

With cmp -l ...

How to apply it with:

Bpatch: http://freshmeat.net/projects/bpatch/

As this patch just nops out some code-lines, it'll be perfectly usable for 
this situation, because then the file size will not change ...

But what about doing the patch dynamically after the dll was loaded into 
mplayer ?!

Would be cleaner IMHO ...
