Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. You may try recompiling using gcc >= 4.2.
Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.

Comment (by pulkomandy):
You are trying to fix a non-existing problem here. We have been using
ffmpeg this way for years without any problems. Moreover, the computers on
which we want FFMPEG to be super fast (because the computer is slow) are
precisely the ones which don't support SSE2. Morever, that codepath is
also used on many non-x86 archs so it's actually quite well tested on
FFMPEG side, so there isn't much to worry about there.
If you can find files that are actually problematic to replay in
MediaPlayer, we can reconsider this.
