 mplayer has been linked against the new libdvdnavnini

[cascavel:~] ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep libdvdnav
        libdvdnavmini.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libdvdnavmini.so.4
(0x0000003f31200000)

and not

/usr/lib64/libdvdnav.so

That would have avoided all this issue. Both shared libraries are present
in the Fedora rpm. But of course, dvdnav-config points to the mini version,
just to shed some thrill onto us.

Anyway, I have a few original DVDs, and "The Mummy" played fine either with
mplayer and vlc.

Axel, will you keep ATrpms libdvdnav, or will it be withdrawn?
