This value does not seem to help.

From original Xorg.0.log:
(II) intel(0): Allocating 3840 scanlines for pixmap cache

After manual setting to 6144
(**) intel(0): Requested 6144 cache lines
(II) intel(0): Allocating 6144 scanlines for pixmap cache

Mplayer still complains of insufficient resources. 

Note that the video is "only" 720x384, but I just tried 320x239 one with
same result.

BUT:

Current results (all with xv output):
mplayer, 720x384: insufficient resources
mplayer, 320x239: insufficient resources
gxine, 720x384: SEGFAULT
gxine, 320x239: plays
xine, 720x384: SEGFAULT
xine, 320x239: plays
vlc, 720x384: insufficient resources
vlc, 320x239: does not know flv
totem-gstreamer, 720x384: plays
totem-gstreamer, 320x239: plays

Totem and VLC also complains about "No accelerated IMDCT transform
found" for the 720x384 video.

Hope this helps at least pinpointing where the issue might be.

Thanks,
Martin
