Most of the changes in that diff are fbsd fixes - I'm a bit surprised
your mplayer works properly/efficiently without the bswap fix (it will
be using the naive C version). I'll try recompiling the whole package
with -DBROKEN_RELOCATIONS. I don't think the number of configure
options are affecting it, but I'll try a minimal version as well, just
to see.

Thanks
