Ah, thanks, that is probably just me being dumb since I was testing on a G3 only!
I guess that only works for libraries though, no such auto-selection for executables, right?
Seems ffmpeg and ffplay are built only without altivec (which is kind of ok, and as said might be ok for MPlayer but would be nice to check).

Thanks for the hint,
