These are standard MPEG-2 and AC3 codecs, there are no binary codecs
for them, so the above is completely irrelevant.
The FFmpeg (libavcodec) version in use obviously had almost everything
removed/disable.
You'll have to build your own MPlayer version to get something that
works, that one obviously is quite useless (probably won't play anything
but VP8, theora and vorbis).
