Well, 0.99.8_5 here, although portupgrade -arR is running on ttyv0, so I 
may be installing a broken player also.  I assume you have tried under 
another WM such as good old TWM?  Same result?  What about on the 
console (no X)?  Are you playing video files or audio (probably video)?

The "[ws] Shared Memory Extensions Error" sounds pretty 
application-specific to me.  It's possible the xfce people should have 
referred you to mplayer as well as FBSD. I'm guessing somewhere
between mplayer and X11 and FreeBSD.

What about recompiling whilst passing

	--disable-shm

	to configure?

Also, I assume you're on X.org, correct?

Grasping at straws,
