I'd like to remind people that many multimedia codecs contain code that is patented and protected under intellectual property laws. Before installing any media application on your system, I recommend that you understand the associated legal issues. You need to understand that installing some media codecs without proper license is not legal in some countries. Please make sure that when you install programs like mplayer on your system that you only install support for multimedia types that you are legally allowed to use.
I don't believe this applies to WAV format (raw audio) since, to my understanding, it isn't protected under any patents. However, Dave's suggestion to install mplayer with "all related and offered codecs" should be qualified to highlight that you should *not* install, use, or distribute plugins if you do not have the legal right to do so. Laws differ from country to country, so there are unfortunately no easy answers to such legal questions. Consult an expert familiar with the laws in your country.
