This is not nearly enough information. Don't ever snip anything out of
the MPlayer output - post the entire thing, including the full command
line immediately before it.

In this case, since this is a crash, the "crashing bug report"
guidelines from bugreport.html would probably also be relevant - except
for the fact that:

This is not a valid MPlayer version; there should be a specific version
number between the "CVS" and "4.0.2", and it isn't present. This means
that whoever packaged your copy of MPlayer did it wrong. However, any
"CVS"-based version is out of date - upgrade to at least 1.0pre8, if not
to actual SVN, and try again. If it still fails, then read
DOCS/HTML/<your-language-code>/bugreports.html and send in a proper bug
report.
