Don't make it more difficult then it is. SSE, etc means the CPU support a certain set of instructions. When you enable the use flag for it, mplayer will make use of the instructions. And to do that, it will use assembly if necessary. If you want to know where and how, take a look at the mplayer source code. For example the file libavcodec/x86/h264_idct_sse2.asm does exactly what the name suggests. Ward
