Lazyweb: mplayer's OGG support is not good

So I’ve been watching some of the talks from Linux.Conf.Au (to tide me over until the FOSDEM talks become available), which are all in the Ogg/Theora format.

My video player of choice is mplayer. However, it’s Ogg/Theora support seems to be awful⁰ (skipping backward often breaks, skipping forward occasionally does). Lazyweb, my question is this: Is there some way to fix this, or is it a problem upstream?

[Footnote 0: Not good, Meg, not good.]
