Last week there was this proposal to fix the problem
for this compiler - but the compiler should be rather fixed
really fast by Mandrake.

Meanwhile try this advice:
------
but i find my reponse, and i must change the code:

in ffv1.c by change the line 465 with :
sample[p][i]=sample_buffer[p][(h+i-y)%ring_size]+3;

by

 int tmp;
  tmp=(h+i-y)%ring_size;
  sample[p][i]=sample_buffer[p][tmp]+3;

  that works fine !!

Well it's maintained but just very not in a big way for now
(as I'm being kept busy byu other projects/things :(

But it should work and bugs are fixed.
You bug however is a bug of your compiler.

If you haven't yet heard of MPlayer - you really should install this
player.  Avifile is rather strictly oriented towards 'avi' playback
with few extra features which other projects/players IMHO misses
(Of course they have tons of other features ;))
