a) Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html
b) Read the RealAudio section of the DOCS

then,

c) install the codec, or
d) update the codecs.conf in your ~mythtv/.mplayer directory to it's in 
sync with the one distributed with your version of MPlayer (i.e. cp 
/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf ~mythtv/.mplayer ).  If you update MPlayer and 
do not update the user-specific configuration information, you don't get 
the benefits of the newly supported codecs (among many other things).
