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.
Bingo. You are exactly correct. Thanks, I don't know how many hours I
sent in solving this problem. I wonder how this happened.

It may not have been a faad2 update that caused it. From memory it was
moving libavcode.so.51 to a different package someplace. I had this
problem and read on the freshrpms list to install libmp4v2 to get around
this issue.
From the freshrpms mail list.
yum install libmp4v2
I had actually emailed this to work on the weekend so I have it handy.
