Works with 2.96 just don't use -vo gl option. Make sure you copied the
codecs.conf file to your ~/.mplayer directory.
I looked at the spec file and it has MMX disabled so that shouldn't cause
problems. You might want to rpm -ivh MPlayer then goto the spec
file and remove the 'libstdc++3.0-devel' option from BuildRequires and if
your using gcc-2.96 replace --cc=gcc-3.01 with --cc=gcc in the
%configure line then rpm -bb MPlayer.spec.
