[waimea] waimea 0.5.0 & mplayer crash

[Andy Herrman]

Something I just noticed on the Gentoo Forums:
someone was having problems with mplayer (different than you are, but 
problems none the less) and found that installing from the cvs sources 
fixed them.  You might want to try that (unfortunately there's no ebuild 
for the cvs sources so you'll have to do it manually).  The newer 
version of mplayer might play more nicely with waimea, so it may be 
worth a try.
