unofficial mplayer

[Antonio]

I guess you should add the other repositories (universe and multiverse), 
check the FAQ.

If you want to compile mplayer yourself and create a package for it, you 
can try my script:

http://gnuaction.altervista.org/sections/Antonio/makemplayer

that downloads mplayer sources (cvs or stable), skins, codecs, osd 
fonts, for you and than compiles mplayer and creates a optimized 
packages for your system.

But, you should not trust me, because I'm asking you to execute a bash 
script from an unknown source (yes, even if is hosted on a site about 
free software).

So, unless you understand bash-scripting and can check yourself the 
code, don't execute it, please go with the marillat repository instead.

PS: Maybe I should post the script on the wiki so it can be reviewed 
from others and become a bit more trusted.
