I don't know, but searching the repo, I found the following commit: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/mplayer/-/commit/63f84eb8b014724263447bc37927154bec2ac5e7 It's from 12 years ago, so I don't know if the logic from then still applies. It does talk about 'mplayer-dbg', but AFAIK nowadays there should be (automatic?) debug packages and those are (usually?)named -dbgsym. You as one of the (new) maintainers can make a different choice then was made back then. OTOH, I'd guess that an assert would signal an actual problem and *hiding* it by no longer compiling with '--enable-debug' seems wrong. When the assert itself is wrong, then that should be corrected. FTR: I can read C code a bit, but not write it and I have no knowledge of mplayer's code. I only tried whether I could reproduce the reported issue with a newer mplayer version (1.4 vs 1.3). And I could. Cheers, Diederik
