Maybe you could try Marillat's Debianized source packages,
available at:

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/

I forgot the "apt-get source" line. But you can manually download
the files:

mplayer_0.90rc2-0.1.diff.gz
mplayer_0.90rc2-0.1.dsc and
mplayer_0.90rc2.orig.tar.gz

Create the build directory using the command "dpkg-source -x
mplayer_0.90rc2-0.1.dsc". While the mplayer folks might have a
different opinion, in my experience Marillat's source is easier
to build because it tells you all the packages (and then some)
you need to install to build properly.
