Hum. I was very close to give up and try migrating the mplayer.sh script
to vlc.
Lucky me I found that I needed to --disable-gl to get rid of a segfault
in the configure stage for PNG, JPG, Gif (don't ask me why, I never
installed any graphical layer on this machine.)

Then I had in turn to --disable a bunch of random features/codecs to
get the code to actually compile.  At last AlienBBC runs on my machine
(amd64). mplayer won't easily compile static, but I renamed and pinned
the debian packages and normally a simple "apt-get mplayer" won't
destroy the AlienBBC feature.

I understand mplayer's source code is highly optimized, running and
compiling may be difficult. However, a list of minimal configure
switches, to get audio only and none of the video or gui features would
have been nice. 
The kitchen-sink configure script doesn't provide any hierarchy when
looking to enable/disable features en-masse. I couldn't find such list
of "audio only" switches anywhere on the net.
