I did actually get an FC3 rpm to work in the end.  I also installed the
mplayer essential codecs package (I can't remember whether this is
actually necessary for AlienBBC).  The essential codecs rpm package is
very fussy about the naming of the mplayer rpm, so I tried a few rpms
before I found one that worked.

There may have been some mplayer dependancies that apt-get sorted out,
but I arrived via a tortuous route so it's difficult to be certain what
additional packages were eventually required!

The compilation route sounds straightforward and should give a 'better'
mplayer - so I will give it a go.  Thanks.
