SPARC gcc generates bad code accessing an unaligned and packed structure member (See gcc problem report PR c/7847); mplayer crashes with SIGBUS signal. Added a workaround: copy the unaligned stucture member to a temporary local variable using memcpy, and use that in the code.

libdha - Library of Direct Hardware Access.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This library was designed for direct hardware access under different
OS and architectures. It's not linux specific only (like harddrake
and other).

This library is based on gfxdump utility from GATOS project.
Full list of supported OS'es see in libdha.h

Note: This library requires ROOT privileges or SUID'ed executable
file (same as XServer).
(Or use newly developed libdha kernel helper. Look at kernelhelper/dhahelper.c)
