an installer package that snarfed the source (current release or cvs)
and built a package would be useful, and probably wouldn't pose any
legal problems. mplayer-src or mplayer-cvs-src
compiling it is pretty straight-forward (it needs build-dependancies,
though - i had to install nasm before it would compile), just untar and
run ./debian/rules binary.
an installer package for the win32 codecs is legally questionable,
though.
