Compiling from a recent svn of mplayer solved my problem with playback.
Can play the EAC3 without any problems.  The other issue I had was the
resolution - I had to use mplayer options to reduce the resolution so I
could watch it smoothly.

I couldn't get dumpHD to work for my blu-ray stuff. It seemed to not
find the aacs keys even though I had the software available to
automatically find them.  It might be a source key issue but not sure.
I simily used AnyDVD to dump the movie and watching was a piece of cake
after that.
