use rpmfusion and NOT atrpms
that's the same as for a physical install
Thanks, enabled RPMFUSION and it's now downloading a thousand deps
(ok, 29 deps actually), and it'll use 55 MB of HD space.
I still think a static build of MPlayer would be great, but I see here
building one is apparently not so easy:

(Ironically, on win32 there's plenty of static builds of ffmpeg, and I
think I've seen Mplayer builds for Win32 delivered as a single huge
file as well).
Oh well...
What is ironic is that if I google long enough, I'll surely find some
wma player written in Java that I could run by just downloading a
single .jar file and running it with OpenJDK... so much for the
advantage of the 'linux way' of a thousand dependencies on system libs
scattered throughout the system... ;)
Large portions of the ability to play various media is encumbered by
copyright and patent issues on the codecs. Red Hat/Fedora play by USA
laws and can't include things that have such issues. SuSE and several
others based outside the USA bypass them regularly. Note that
"mplayerhq.hu" is registered in Hungary.
