I recommend building mplayer-svn into a separate directory hierarchy, 
like /opt or /usr/local, so it doesn't interfere with the needs of other 
software like MythTV... because it is, after all, bleeding edge.

I'd be suprised to hear that the mplayer-svn install, installed into 
prefix=/, overwrote anything of significance other than the mplayer 
binary itself.... the fact that you are getting errors now would 
indicate that maybe ffmpeg(libavcodec) was replaced?  On my system at 
least, configure defaults to building all the support libraries (i.e. 
ffmpeg, a52dec, dvdread, libao, etc) statically and stuffing them all 
into the mplayer binary, and NOT replacing the system versions.
