Not really answering your question but this is a work around.  Try
using Xine instead of MPlayer.  It can play anything MPlayer can
aslong as you have the w32codecs.  Follow the instructions over at
UbuntuGuide.org and remove MPlayer before anything.  Install the xine
libraries, gxine and the w32codecs.  also reinstall the mozplugger
incase firefox doesn't register gxine properly.  This always works for
me.
