I don't know about my mplayer, but I have 0.21 compiled with libfaad
support and the thing didn't play. It's not that it played poorly, it
simply didn't play. I placed it in my mythvideo directory, scanned for
new videos, and selected this video to play. I then see what appears to
be a mountain range but the bottom half of the frame is so distorted it
is hard to tell. No sound. No movement. The thing appears to have
locked up and I had to kill -9 mythfrontend.
FWIW, mplayer does something similar.
This is on an AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+.
