With newer mplayer versions (like 0.90 and newer) you dont
need to have codecs.conf anymore as mplayer commes with a
compiled in version of it.

But, be aware that if you are using SuSEs mplayer package
that you get the most crippled version of mplayer i've
ever seen in my life. You definitly want to throw it away
and compile mplayer yourself or use one of the official
rpm packages from the hompage.
