Public bug reported:

The current version of mplayer which is shipped with Ubuntu Trusty has
broken support for png / alpha image output. This in turn breaks other
packages, in particular the LiVES application
(http://lives.sourceforge.net).

Tested with mplayer version 2:1.1+dfsg1-0ubuntu3.

To reproduce:
mplayer -vo png:alpha <any_video_file>.

Expected result: produces numbered sequence of png images (works with
the :alpha omitted).

Actual result: error and no ouput produced.


I believe this can be fixed very simply by adjusting the compilation options 
for mplayer.
