Well, as you can see, the list of codecs in the two directories is hardly 
equivalent. AFAIK, in general 32bit plugins don't usually interoperate well 
with 64bit apps (think firefox, nspluginwrapper, flash-plugin, etc.). As for 
mplayer, I remember that this didn't work before and was generally considered 
unfixable, so I guess today is still the same.

But theory aside, I did an experiment --- downloaded one of the sample files 
from http://www.on2.com/index.php?617 , played no problem using mplayer.i686, 
while getting exactly the same error as the OP using mplayer.x86_64. In both 
cases all relevant codec files are in both /usr/lib/codecs/ and 
/usr/lib64/codecs/.

I would really like to know about your setup if you are able to play any of 
those files using 64bit mplayer.

Best, :-)
Marko
