I did test the case with another 2 binaries compiled by others:
http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-for-windows/
http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

The same results they are not working.

In addition, I have tested it with mplayer2 (2 binaries compiled by others):
http://code.google.com/p/mplayer2-for-windows/
http://mplayer2.srsfckn.biz/

And they are working fine. so i guess there might be something in mplayer
and not in compilation.
