No, codecs.conf belongs to mplayer. mplayer has some build in
codecs (mpeg and the whole libavcodec family). codecs.conf changes
quite often while w32codec*.(zip|bz2) does not (see cvs log).
If you upgrade mplayer you also have to upgrade codecs.conf as
also the format of it can change. eg mplayer 0.50 segfaults
with the codecs.conf of 0.60, though both work fine with the
same windows dlls (either of 0.50 or 060)

Ask sdl developers, that's something mplayer doesnt have 
under it's control.
