ALL media players are subject to coding errors since all software projects are 
so afflicted.
Sometimes the authors fix them, sometimes not.  Generally it is possible to 
obtain the
patched code only through CVS, SVN, mercurial or some other version control 
system.

patched source
tree is described at their web site: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
