All of the packages you have look similar (in version numbers)
to the ones I have. Mine came from squeeze, not sid, and I don't
know if that makes a difference.
Try this to see what demuxers are avaialable for your mplayer:
mplayer -demuxer help
Check the output to see if "lavf" or "lavfpref" is available.
Using the -demuxer option, you can force a certain demuxer to be used.
Try one of these:
mplayer -demuxer +lavfpref youtube_9sJUDx7iEJw.flv
mplayer -demuxer +lavf youtube_9sJUDx7iEJw.flv
