Hello,
To continue my story, please let me say that I have successfully compiled Mplayer after removing
completely FFmpeg from my system. However, the original problem, that is, the decoding of
MP3 files is still there. I have used a 64bit version of mgp123 to play some MP3 file and there
is absolutely no problem:
$ /opt/gnu/bin/amd64/mpg123 -v song.mp3
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3

Now when I play the same file with the 64bit version of mplayer, this what mplayer reports:
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
dec_audio: Allocating 4608 + 65536 = 70144 bytes for output buffer.
mp3lib: using generic C decore! <--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP3lib: init layer2&3 finished, tables done

Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
==========================================================================
while the 32bit version reports the following:
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
dec_audio: Allocating 4608 + 65536 = 70144 bytes for output buffer.
mp3lib: using 3DNow!Ex optimized decore! <----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP3lib: init layer2&3 finished, tables done
MPEG 1.0, Layer III, 44100 Hz 128 kbit Joint-Stereo, BPF: 417

==========================================================================
So it seems the decore is not the appropriate one. Comments, suggestions?
