Just applied it to today's mplayer-cvs; seems to work for me, too.  BTW,
I'm not sure whether that's due to the patch or due to already commited
changes in the mpeg-ts demuxer, but I can now watch very bad dvb-t
streams with lots of uncorrectable bit-errors without crashing mplayer
:-)  that didn't work last time I tried.

Could somebody please apply that patch or give Nico CVS-access?  Without
the patch, MPlayer is hardly usable for watching DVB-t (zapping times of
10s+ when using the cache).
