More or less. I installed mplayer from Christian Marillat's repository. I 
tried the version from cerkinfo, but got into a massive amount of conflicts 
with duplicate libraries in faac, faad, and mp4 packages. I finally gave up 
with that, and compiled my own .deb following the HOWTO on ubuntufourms.org 
here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9850&page=1&pp=10 and also 
the README in the mplayer source itself. It's the same source as the version 
on cerkinfo, but minus the dependency hell.
