	I know what the problem is!

	Since I have been able to build and run 'mpeg2dec' + 'libmpeg2'
	from the CVS version of the libmpeg2 project I went and took a
	look at a newer libmpeg2

	I have an idea what's not right now ;)

	Looking at the latest libmpeg2 (0.3.2) from mpeg2dec I see that
	cpu_state.c has some macros defined:

#ifdef ARCH_PPC
#ifdef HAVE_ALTIVEC_H   /* gnu */
#define LI(a,b) "li " #a "," #b "\n\t"
#define STVX0(a,b,c) "stvx " #a ",0," #c "\n\t"
#define STVX(a,b,c) "stvx " #a "," #b "," #c "\n\t"
#define LVX0(a,b,c) "lvx " #a ",0," #c "\n\t"
#define LVX(a,b,c) "lvx " #a "," #b "," #c "\n\t"
#else                   /* apple */
#define LI(a,b) "li r" #a "," #b "\n\t"
#define STVX0(a,b,c) "stvx v" #a ",0,r" #c "\n\t"
#define STVX(a,b,c) "stvx v" #a ",r" #b ",r" #c "\n\t"
#define LVX0(a,b,c) "lvx v" #a ",0,r" #c "\n\t"
#define LVX(a,b,c) "lvx v" #a ",r" #b ",r" #c "\n\t"
#endif

	and the assembly code is written using those macros.

	Updating libmpeg2/cpu_state.c will fix the problem but it's too
	late tonight to start that project.   	

	Perhaps one of the MPlayer developers can take a look at updating
	libmpeg2?  

	Cheers,
