Understood... I just knew they were not going to be happy about me not
compiling from source... and since "many" users on this list use the
ATrpms for MythTV... it seemed like the right place at the time. 
Before posting to the list, I also posted to the ATrpms bugzilla. 
Just trying to compile as much information and reference material as
possible.

That being said... and for others to reference in the future...
I wrote to the MPlayer list, and received a terse response saying ATrpms
packages aren't supported... which I had expected.  I was
basically informed that I should try the "official MPlayer packages".  I did:
from:
http://rpm.greysector.net/mplayer/downloads-cvs.html

installed (for FC5):
http://rpm.greysector.net/yum/5/i386/mplayer-1.0pre8-0.7.20060418.i386.rpm

and it now works!  I didn't chanage anything other than the mplayer package.

I'm not sure what the differences are between the two packages (besides version
numbers).  I suspect that some sort of compile time option must be influencing
it.
