I was able to build mplayer 1.1 linking to external ffmpeg 0.11.1 by using the configure switch --disable-ffmpeg_a. I suggest we add this switch to the default instructions in the book. My mplayer binary is now 4.6 MB, compared to 14 MB with statically linked ffmpeg. Hopefully the mplayer developers will continue to make proper releases.
