As long as mplayers cpu detection is only at compile time (see news at
mplayerhq.hu) I would strongly suggest copiling it yourself. To simplify
that, do the following:

1. add
   deb-src http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main
   to your /etc/apt/sources.conf as well (replace stable as above).
2. apt-get update (or better dselect update).
3. apt-get source mplayer
   cd mplayer-whatstheversion
   debuild

If you have all nescecary development packages installed, that should
give you a fine optimized mplayer package you can install (via 
dpkg -i ../mplayer_*deb).
   
Yours,

Karsten
