mplayer problems under debian

I never do upgrade, I always do dist-upgrade.

Also, my experience with unstable a few years ago when I tried debian
was that there'd be a number of packages put on hold every time I did
an upgrade, and some of those that were upgraded had something broken
in them. So, when running debian this time around, I thought testing
would be a better option for me than unstable, and so far I've had no
reason to regret that choice.
