Oops! Right. You previously wrote:

It can't go into Fedora but it will end up in RPM Fusion

Still it's strange that Debian has accepted it for Sid... with codecs only
for Ogg Theora, of course. They're usually rather strict on patents.

I suppose that, because of issues with FFmpeg and Win32 codecs, Red Hat
would rather not touch Mplayer with a six foot pole but, for the end user,
whether Mplayer is provided by Red Hat or RPMfusion makes no difference.
Davide should be glad :)
