I've finally got this sorted for those who are interested. It looks 
like there was a copy of mplayer in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, root 
doesn't seem to have /usr/local/bin in its path so used the /usr/bin 
one. The /usr/loca/bin must of been compiled incorectly or something 
and thus the segfaults. I recompiled it and it still didn't work and 
then I realised that the skins in /usr/local/mplayer/Skins/ weren't 
readable by users. Also it was about this time I realised that I 
didn't have mtrr support in my kernel and that this was a bad thing.

I've fixed all of those problems and everything is peachy.

Thanks for the help,
