Hi,
I found Michael Kostylev's port of mplayer for DOS/DJGPP at:
http://mik.mkw.ru/dos-stuff/ (binary, source patch). It's also
discused at: http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=1131
we are trying to figure out why it crashes when playing WMV (WMA
stream - if sound decoding is disabled it works) file which cause this
SIGILL error: http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/img/uploaded/image2.gif
Mplayer works ok compiled by same version of gcc on windows and Linux
and even DOS/DJGPP version doesn't crash under windows 98 - there
maybe influence of DPMI server, as I know win9x DPMI is more fault
tolerant. I'd like to know if the bug is caused in some specific DJGPP
function or it is hidden mplayer bug which doesn't propagate under
oher OSes. What's your opinion?

(tested WMA file  causing crash: Here's an alternative movie:

I had to disable audio output: mplayer -ac null swe3_sma.wmv)
