It does:

VO: [x11] 320x132 => 320x132 ARGB


(As told by truss when running under firefox).

Note that the version of mplayer and the plugin is exactly the same on
both.

But thanks for the pointer; perhaps that gets me a little bit further.

Ah yes, there it is:

                    amt = fread(&c, 1, 1, local_td->instance->player);


Endian issue.  (A char is read but stored in the first byte of "int c";
fien for little endian but not so fine on big endian.)
