Let me take it back: After some more experiments, the only problem
that stands out is that the message "Cannot test OS support for SSE,
disabling to be safe" is still printed when I run MPlayer (even though
I compile it with the options "--disable-runtime-cpudetection
--enable-sse --enable-sse2 --enable-mmx --enable-mmx2 --enable-3dnow
--enable-3dnowex" that I thought were supposed to force the usage of
SIMD instructions, but it seems it just force the building of a
SIMD-aware binary).
I guess this narrows down the problem a bit more...
Other things I noticed is that the building process was failling in
many circumstances depending on the compiler used (gcc-3.3 fails
here), ld version and other extra options. So this port is not really
"mature" I'd say, but it has the great value to exist! ;-)
I'll try to see what I can fix...

Regards,
Guillaume
