MPlayer 1.0pre8-3.4.4 is rather old too 8-). Please use Subversion 
instead and compile from sources, quotation from download page at 
mplayerhq.hu:

      You can also get MPlayer via Subversion. Issue the following
      command to get the latest sources:

        svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

      A directory named mplayer will be created in the current
      directory. You can later update your sources by typing

        svn update

      from within that directory.
