Hi.

T5500 is a 64bits processor, if you want win32 loader to work, you have
to compile and make mplayer run in a 32bits environment (look for "linux
32bits chroot" or alike in your favourite search engine).

If you're yet in a 32 bits environment, ls -l your DLL to see if your
user account haves permissions to load the DLL.
