Can you play the cnn videos directly with mplayer at the prompt?
Open a shell, and firefox. Try to play a cnn video from within firefox,
while at the prompt do a 

ps auxfwww | grep mplayer

You should see something like

mplayer -wid 0x3a045de -vf scale=468:-3 -osdlevel 0 -nojoystick -noconsolecontrols -cookies -slave -user-agent NSPlayer -nomouseinput -cache 512 mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/tech/2006/12/10/zarrella.shuttle.launch.CNN.ws.wmv

You can then stop the clip in firefox. Try then at the prompt

mplayer mms://wmscnn...... 

You will see eventual warnings and errors that mplayer produces, and then
you may be able to figure out what's wrong.

By the way, if you run mplayer -dumpstream mms://url  you can download
whatever mplayer is playing.
