Thanks. I got it to work.

The issue was the toolame 02m-beta8 put the library in /usr/lib64 and the includes in /usr/include/toolame. mplayer 
really wants the includes and the library in the same directory. So I created /usr/lib64/libtoolame and symlinked 
everything into it.

A modest suggestion: perhaps a --with-toolameincdir=xxxx  ?
