It builds properly and without the recent rash of security related bugs
from the SVN tree. Get the latest sources:

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

Configure using, with your own modifications. ALSA does not work with my
sound chip.

[duhring@maxwell ~/mplayer]$ head configure.log
configuration: --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer \
--codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs --win32codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs \
--enable-gui --disable-alsa --enable-ossaudio --with-vidix-drivers=nvidia

Be *sure* to `export CFLAGS=""` before running the configure script or
make.

You might want to archive the source tree before compiling so that you can
update it in the future using 'svn update'.
