Upgrading from mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090731-r1 to mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r1 mencoder doesn't open mpeg2 streams on my pc. The mpeg2 streams are TV-Sat-Recordings demuxed with ProjectX.

just for Info: the same behaviour with mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r2
I can't reproduce this but it probably is fixed in FFmpeg SVN r20075
Should be fixed with mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026.

Falling back to mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090731, every file of this kind (=DVB recording demuxed by ProjectX) I tested works again with mencoder.
This has _nothing_ to do with mencoder vs. mplayer, and I'd like to point out that this bug would have been fixed quite a bit earlier if you hadn't misled us to believe that. -audiofile is what causes the issue both with mplayer and mencoder, and MPlayer SVN r29810 should fix it.
Tried out SVN-r29962-4.4.2 (svn snapshot from 2009_11_23) with the help of the recent ebuild mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1 and the old behaviour is back on my pc. Sorry for misleading anyone including myself and thanks for the quick support.
