I forgot 3) which perhaps could be investigated further:

3) having the mplayer source in multiverse producing an mplayer (and 
mplayer-nogui) binary packages in universe and an mencoder binary package in 
multiverse.

Note that currently mplayer has the following deps in multiverse:

liblame0
libx264-57
libxvidcore4
mplayer-skins

I guess thats mainly a dpkg-shlibdeps artifact but for mplayer-skins 
(copyrighted art?). mplayer-skins is obviously not a dep of mplayer-nogui.
