Programs should not crash, so please report a bug.

This does not give any hint, because the program is not crashing in a
system call. You need to install mplayer-dbg and run mplayer under gdb
to get a meaningful backtrace of the problem. If the crash happens in a
library rather than in mplayer, you need its -dbg package as well.
The mplayer maintainer should give you more instructions when you report
the bug.
