The mplayer bug may not be the same one, as it exibits different 
behaviour (now that I watched the screen). mplayer throws up a video 
window for a moment with some noisy macroblocks - it plays my longer 
nonredistributable sample just fine. So it looks like a gstreamer 0.10 
problem only. Although the mplayer video thing could possibly be caused 
by misinitialising something in liba52 I suppose.

The sample I've uploaded *may* be corrupted judging by the mplayer 
problem - but it has the same problem with another nonredistributable 
file that xine and gstreamer 0.8 play fine. So my leaning is that the 
uploaded sample *should* work.
