mplayer is certainly one of the worst code samples to base tests
on compiler quality for x86 on, since the most time consuming parts are
written in assembler for that platform.

Having the time critical parts written in assembler is of course a
good thing, but if you want to use the application for compiler
tests, I would recommend disabling the use of any assembler.
