depends....
i think they won't include the win32 codecs....
i think they can't
but for things like that there's plf ( plf.zarb.org ),
which is simply a mandrake-rpm-source for programs which are legally
problematic ( hinting-enabled freetype, libdvdcss and so on )
so basically there is a mplayer.rpm in mandrake-cooker and a mplayer.rpm
in plf... the first one has those not-100%-legal parts disabled, the
second one enabled.
