your problem is that ac3 ( or a52 ... it has two names ) support wasn't
compiled in...

so try to install some packages called liba52 or something like that...

but that won't really help, because your mplayer was compiled without
a52 support..

so best would be to contact the package creators, and tell him to
compile mplayer with a52 support.

p.s: or, if you're brave enough :-), you can compile it for yourself
