Ive got the gdb backtrace:

#0  0x0847bca5 in mpeg2_set_buf ()
#1  0x081080bf in mpcodecs_draw_slice ()
#2  0x08105b33 in decode_video ()
#3  0x080808ee in main ()
Dunno if its of anyhelp.
Commandline mplayer seems to be working fine.

Does plain mplayer work any better than gmplayer?

Anyway, to run an app in gdb, just type 'gdb gmplayer' from a
shell prompt, and then type 'run' at the gdb prompt.
If you normally start gmplayer with an argument, like the name
of a file, then type 'run path-to-file' instead.
When the app crashes it won't disappear from the screen as it
usually would, it will just freeze.  That's when you go back
to the gdb prompt and type 'bt' (backtrace).
Hm.  I've never done a gdb 'disassembly' so I'd better find out
what it means.
