Thanks for the reply.

That would explain why ffplay works then, and why I couldn't get any
 -lavfdopts or other flags to make mplayer play any streams, although
I have very limited knowledge of ffmpeg flags and what they all do.

Is there a problem with linking to libxml2?  My copy of (a recent svn
 + ffmpeg from git) mplayer seems to link to it:

ldd =mplayer | grep xml
libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007f3f32630000)
