No offense, Brian, but I think this one is oversimplified.
OK, since nobody volunteered, I could be the RPM maintainer.
I've been building mplayer RPMs since last summer, for myself
only of course. I also apply some patches to make building
easier and to fix some compiler warnings (I posted them here
but no-one responded).

My package comes with fonts and with skin and a .desktop entry for GNOME
menu, if built with GUI. GUI building is conditional, i.e. you can do
rpm --rebuild --with gui mplayer-version.src.rpm to get the GUI version.
I have a fully updated RH7.2 system at present and I'm building mplayer
using gcc-3.0.4.
