mplayer-1.0.20060415 ebuild is considered newer than mplayer-1.0_pre8 by portage, but it is older and effectively blocks from upgrade to mplayer-1.0_pre8. mplayer versioning should be somehow changed because there is no information about what is newer: 1.0.YYYMMDD or 1.0_preX builds. In fact: 1.0_pre8 > 1.0.20060415 > ... > 1.0_pre7-r1 ...and there would probably come some new 1.0.YYYYMMDD versions in future which should be considered newer than 1.0_pre8. I suggest something like renaming 1.0.20060415 to 1.0_pre7.20060415 and future builds before pre9 name mplayer-1.0_pre8.YYYYMMDD (if it is possible) or convert all 1.0_preX versions to 1.0.YYYYMMDD_preX with respective date otherwise...
I found the same here, when I specified what to emerge, it was noted, that _pre8 is a downgrade compared to 20060415.
