I had the same problem. It turns out that there is a copy of faad2 that breaks mplayer. I've heard that it came from a freshrpms repository, but I'm sure that mine didn't. How I got this problem on my pc remains a mystery. Anyway... the solution is to download an older copy of faad2, such as this one... http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6.i386.rpm and install it over the current with the following command rpm -i --force faad2...rpm I am saying this all from memory, so I might not have the details exactly right, but that is the jist of it. There are a couple threads on www.fedoraforum.org that discuss it.
