- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
it also happen to the aur version.

After building mplayer myself, I can confirm the problem. To start with, the liba52 patch that was necessary to compile mplayer with gcc 4.4.0, is not necessary when you compile with gcc 4.4.1. The bug fix was incorporated in the latest gcc release. Unfortunately MPlayer crashes again on ac3 files. Until a fix has come out, the only thing to get it back to work is to compile mplayer with a previous gcc (4.3 is a good example). You'll need to install a previous gcc besides the one you currently have installed. The best way to do so is to base yourself on the gcc-snapshot pkgbuild from aur. Here's the one I used myself:
