O'k! I've done it. Now mplayer calls ffmpeg codecs instead of windows codecs.
But maybe it would be better to remove these records from codecs.conf in CVS
and codecs from win32codec.zip?
I've found there following codecs:
;  Default codecs config file. It replaces the old codecs.c file!

  dll "l3codeca.acm"

Now it's clear - why mplayer calls win32 codecs instead of native.

Btw, I've done some "reverse engineer" analysis and didn't find any MMX or SSE opcodes
in l3codeca.acm.
At first - these DLL is never called by mplayer.
Second - why this record is present in mplayer conf
Third - I don't know - may be you have l3codeca.acm which is optimized for MMX and SSE
but my copy doesn't contain such optimization.
