I'll try adding -idx, then.
Where did you find the source deb-src? do you mean the official Debian
archive?

If compiled with mlib, mplayer outputs in console a message that sounds
like: "using mlib for colorspace transform"

If you haven't enabled mlib yet, I advice you to do it, since the
performance boost (at no additional cost) is remarkable. I posted a
pico-howto on this subject some time ago (with the precious help of Mr.
Miller), you can find it in the mailing list archives.
