 When watching a theora-encoded file and using fftheora to decode, mplayer 
 seems
 to introduce some distortion at the top of the video file.  This problem does
 not exist with the 3rd-party standard theora decoder.  I checked the file in
 ffplay and did not find the same distortion, so I believe this is an mplayer
 bug.
 
 The file in question is here:

 A screenshot is attached to show the distortion.  The video is encoded at an
 interesting resolution: 1280x1088, which may contribute to the problem.


One or more of these FFmpeg revisions have not been backported to 0.6 I guess:
r23537, (r25050 not directly related), r25051, r25052, r25073

If this was an FFmpeg problem, ffplay should give the same distortion as
mplayer, right?  I was under the impression that if I can reproduce a
bug in mplayer and ffplay, I should submit it as an FFmpeg bug rather
than mplayer.  Is this not the case?

You did nothing wrong in reporting this as an MPlayer bug,
however FFmpeg/ffplay does not use the slice rendering API
(except possibly if you use the right libavfilter filters)
so bugs that are exclusive to that will not be reproducible
with ffplay even if (like in this case) it actually is an
FFmpeg bug.
