 No.
 With FFmpeg VC-1 codecs, we don't need w32codecs.
 See  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1
 

Thanks.  I will check it out as soon as I finish skimming through the messages 
in this list.

 I've tested mplayer svn with some wmv3 on my testing/unstable, it works 
 fine.

Umm, that's not entirely correct.

While Win32 do not work on PPC there are binary codec packages for PPC.
They contain .so files that allow playing some RealVideo and RealAudio
and Indeo codecs for which free software decoders do not yet exist.

You can get the packages from

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/codecs.html

And yes, WMV3 should work with current MPlayer Subversion snapshots.
However, the decoder is not finished and does not support advanced
profiles or B-frames yet.  Hopefully it will by the end of the year.

If you use the plugin mozilla-mplayer, maybe embedded video doesn't
work. (see  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=370517 )
