It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was compiled/optimized for. Verify this! - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash. - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. - nothing in dmesg/.xsession-errors Expected Results: Played the video or audio file. xmms works fine (with audio, of course) - the issue is just with noatun and mplayer. This may or may not be related to bug 65313 or 61312, but none of the fixes described with either bug have resolved this problem.

CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX 3DNow You are trying to use a MPlayer binary that was compiled for a processor with MMX _and_ 3DNow support - yours supports only MMX. Recompile (and make sure you don't have 3dnow in your USE flags, if such a use flag exists at all..) If it doesn't help, post MPlayers configure.log
Evidently there is such a flag - I removed it. I have emerged mplayer without the 3dnow flag, and now it works. I emerged kdemultimedia, but noatun still crashes at startup. Currently emerging arts . . . will post if it helps. It may be necessary to close this bug as resolved or invalid, and create a new one for noatun. I had incorrectly assumed the mplayer and noatun issue was related.
Closing then.
