After updating my system, MPlayer (34799-1) crashes with

> MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: decode_audio

It seems that this only happens when playing AAC files/streams; MP3s and OGGs play fine. After MPlayer starts up, it plays one or two notes, and then it crashes. Interestingly enough, the process continues to run in the background after crashing. Playing the same stream with an older version (34426-3) works:

After downgrading to 34426-3, everything works as usual:

I also experienced this bug.
This only happens on i686 if the CPU does not support SSE2 and trying to play HE-AAC (LC-AAC also works fine). It seems the origin of this bug can be found in ffmpeg.

The bug is already fixed upstream. We just need a new build with recent ffmpeg.
