MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events

• MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

alsa-uninit: pcm closed
patrick@laptop:~$

[compn]

please try a newer mplayer version ( like mplayer 1.0rc1 ) from fiesty
​http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/graphics/mplayer

also you can try mplayer -vo x11 or -vo xv Madonna_confession_tour.avi

marking this invalid because it seems to be a packaged mplayer bug,
not an actual mplayer bug.

also not built from svn with gdb report like mplayer bugreporting howto says:
