you can make a symbolic link to the existing lib:

ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.57 /usr/lib/libx264.so.55

No rebuild is needed. You're using x264 from [testing] that's why MPlayer got broken.

We should rebuild all programs that depend on these two new recompiled programs (ffmpeg and libx264).

Another that needs to be rebuilt for the same reason is avidemux. There's a few more I found, but they're all in [community].
