Hi
I don't have a lot of trouble installing the native mplayer rpm's and putting other stuff I want in /usr/local. For instance, rpm --erase xmms and install xmms from source. The trouble I run into is that there are other things that depend on xmms (that I don't really use) and if I rpm --erase --nodeps xmms, I end up having problems when I do yum updates later.
Dont force remove any package. Use yum to remove and a package and all it's deps. yum remove <package>
