I went through this hell yesterday afternoon.  To make a very long story 
short, i ended up checking faad2 out of cvs, and that built without any 
special voodoo.  All other versions & attempts failed miserably with 
errors similar to those that youv'e run into.  However, i'll note that 
even after all this nonsense, MPLayer still refused to play sound in the 
new Matrix trailer.  Even more interesting is that Xine, before i 
installed faad2, was fully capable of playing the new Matrix trailer 
with sound.  So, i gave up on this personal crusade to make Mplayer do 
what Xine was quite capable of doing with half the hassle.
