pkgsrc is 2008Q3, bootstrapped with gcc3.4 from sfw
>Description:
There are two cases, depending on available addresses:

a) annoying but harmless case, mplayer connection to legacy-only
servers is delayed because the first name resolving is broken:

Playing http://theora.ccctu.be:8000/saal1-small.ogm.
Resolving theora.ccctu.be for AF_INET6...
Connecting to server theora.ccctu.be[863c:2864::]: 8000...
connection timeout
Resolving theora.ccctu.be for AF_INET...
Connecting to server theora.ccctu.be[134.60.40.100]: 8000...
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
Cache fill: 10.00% (32768 bytes)   
[Ogg] stream 0: video (Theora v3.2.1), -vid 0

Note that the "IPv6" address tried is the left-aligned Ipv4 address,
which is NOT how an IPv4 address is represented to an IPv6-only
API. According to RFC 4291, "IPv6 addressing architecture", section
2.5.5.2. IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Address, the address should have been
[::ffff:863c:2864].

b) IPv6 streams don't resolve at all without intervention. If you resolve
manually and rewrite the URL with a numerical address, it works:

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build mplayer. Test it.
>Fix:
	Not known. 

It looks to me like the resolving  is done wrong, or like there
are alignment problems, but as I won't be able to dive into the code
and test this year, I want at least to document the problem.

 Note that mplayer on netbsd/i386 works fine.

 Before we assume it's Solaris's fault, does anyone have a big-endian
 netbsd box to try it on? It sounds more like an endian issue.

 Not yet, because I didn't have time yet to check whether this
 happens with the latest upstream distribution, and whether this
 happens with a mplayer built outside of pkgsrc (no pre-built mplayer
 for Solaris/Sparc I found is compiled for IPv6 support, so the
 problem cases can't and don't happen).

Use mpv. If mpv doesn't work, please file a new PR
