Okay, I got it now. I added the source mirror to my distro: now it works.

It's now clear to me: The snapshot on the angstrom source mirror has 
been built for mplayer rev. 32735 which includes a snapshot of the 
ffmpeg repository with the revision which was up-to-date during building 
the file on the mirror (through the svn:external subrepo).

When the package on the mirror would be deleted and built again the 
mplayer_svn reciep will be broken (Another way to try it is to disable 
the mirror).

Using the mirror is a workaround in the short term. But this is no 
solution for the long term. As the primary ffmpeg repo is now git it is 
only a matter of time that a switch is needed.

So which way to go now? Make the mplayer_svn package use the ffmpeg git 
as 2nd repo? If the way to go is clear I would try to build a patch.

Thanks & Regards,
Lars
