Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm using 'mplayer' alongside 'xscreensaver' to play a few videos as
screen savers. To save space, I've dropped the frame size of the videos
(and they play without sound).
On some videos, which I have converted from other media (the example I
will give here is a truncated version of a public-domain video from
archive.org to demonstrate the issue), mplayer on Ubuntu 18.04 crashes:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode video
[ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
'--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
'mplayer-dbgsym'.]
The same videos play just fine with mplayer on Gentoo. (The video was
produced using the command: ffmpeg -i ${INPUT} -s 240x180 -ar 32000 -ac
1 -b:a 128000 -b:v 250000 -t 10 ${OUTPUT}). I have tried other CODECs
and container formats, it seems to be related to Theora which I chose
because it's a good free-software CODEC for video.
