That tarball compiled for the official ubuntu archive, after all. You
can check the buildlogs here:

https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/mplayer/2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1-1ubuntu3

try 'apt-get source mplayer' (no root priviledges required) to get the
sources and try again.

The build dependencies are declared in debian/control

Good luck
