mplayer should be moved to universe

Mplayer decodes H.264 and other MPEG-4 type content, and also contains the
same core codebase as mencoder which encodes to said format. From what I
understand, that means we cannot put mplayer in multiverse.

If this is incorrect, then I would like x264, xvidcore, and friends out into
universe too :)
