How strange.
$ less x11_common.c
[...]
 if ( Success == XGetWindowProperty(
 mDisplay,mRootWin,type,0,16384,False,AnyPropertyType,&type,&format,&nitems,&bytesafter,&args
                                                                                        ^^^^^
 ) && nitems > 0 )
[...]
$ man XGetWindowProperty
[...]
SYNTAX
       int XGetWindowProperty(display, w, property, long_offset, long_length, delete,
       req_type,
                               actual_type_return, actual_format_return, nitems_return,
       bytes_after_return,
                               prop_return)
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^
             Display *display;
             Window w;
             Atom property;
             long long_offset, long_length;
             Bool delete;
             Atom req_type;
             Atom *actual_type_return;
             int *actual_format_return;
             unsigned long *nitems_return;
             unsigned long *bytes_after_return;
             unsigned char **prop_return;
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[...]

So according to the manpage the last argument should be unsigned char **, not Atom **.

PS. This should go to mplayer-dev-eng (Cc'd).
