No. The PPA is the system which build deb ubuntu packages from source.
I compiled using rule script. The part of rule is below:

As you see I've compiled libraries of ffmpeg to next compile bino - 
that's why I don't have ffplay.
But, you gave me good idea. I will compile ffmpeg separatly with ffplay 
and check it.

Not exactly. I've tried it on computer of my colleague, and effect was 
the same.

Ok. I share my system, and you will debug this problem.

system - 
http://systems-design.pl/xbmc/xbmc-11.0-libbluray-2011.09.11-nvidia-gt430-1.iso
unetbootin - http://systems-design.pl/xbmc/unetbootin-linux-549
extlinux - http://systems-design.pl/xbmc/extlinux.conf
plugin.multimedia.players - 
http://systems-design.pl/xbmc/plugin.multimedia.players-1.1.0-alpha.zip

The system is working on nvidia graphics family.
Short describe how "install" and "run" it:

1. Use pendrive more then 1G
2. Create two linux partitions (1 - min 500MB [I used 1G], 2 - rest of 
size of your pendrive)
3. Format its using ext3 filesystem
4. To install iso file use unetbootin-linux application
5. Rename file extlinux.conf on root system pendrive directory
6. Set start from usb in your BIOS of HTPC
7. Start system
8. Install plugin on xbmc:
   a) download plugin.multimedia.players-1.1.0-alpha.zip
   b) copy to another pendrive and connect it to htpc computer
   c) in xbmc choose system->addons->install from zip files and find 
this file
   d) in xbmc enter to video->addons->External Multimedia 
Players->Settings and set variables. Do not forget enable 2D/3D
   e) in xbmc enter to video->addons->External Multimedia 
Players->Initialize
   f) restart player
9. Add sources where you have 3D multimedia, select one of them and 
click "p" button on keyboard. Select 3D.

When you play 3D movie you can see black screen and nothing more. The 
bino started, but not started playing the movie.
You can kill this process via linux console.
Pres ctrl+alt+f1. Login as xbmc, pass: xbmc. Find bino processes "ps 
ax|grep bino" and kill its.
Try edit "/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/plugin.multimedia.players/resources/lib".
Find lines "appRun" (there are 2 in def player3D, and def 
player3D2files). You can add "/usr/bin/strace -o /dev/null " before 
"appMovie".
Save this file, and return to xbmc menu. Press "p" on 3D movie, and 
select "3D". Now its started correctly...

If you want to install something from repository on this system remember 
that links of graphics card are static. We can break it sometimes, and 
we can see on monitor error message. I can share script which repair it 
if you want.
