MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video

Please, have a look on google with "signal 11".
Signal 11 is segmentation violation (or segmentation fault/segfault) and 
is the "standard" error when something is not right. It's caused by the 
app trying to access unallocated memory and is often caused by some 
stray pointer, however the cause can be anything from buggy code to bad 
compiler optimizations or faulty hardware.

As for the requested disassembly they probably mean a disassembly of the 
function that caused gmplayer to crash. Get the backtrace as Walt said 
then for the function at the top run "disassemble func" where func is 
the name of the topmost function in the backtrace.
