What I do is download the source, make the following changes
to debian/rules:
configure: configure-stamp
configure-stamp:
	dh_testdir
	# Add here commands to configure the package.
	$(checkdir)
	./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer \
	--enable-live --with-livelibdir=/x/b/mplay/live \
	--with-win32libdir=/usr/local/lib/`basename ../essential* .tar.bz2` \
	--with-reallibdir=/usr/local/lib/`basename ../essential* .tar.bz2` \
	--with-xanimlibdir=/usr/local/lib/`basename ../essential* .tar.bz2` \
	$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)
#	--enable-gui $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)

Also:
1) download the essential codecs, 2) download and build and install the
lame .debs, 3) download and build live.com streaming media and point
mplayer to it.

Then run "fakeroot debian/rules configure" and examine the output.
When an audio/video codec is listed as "disabled," install the relevant
*-dev packages.  It was kind of tedious but not too difficult.
For some exotic things you'll need to look at the test and see what
header files are missing.

Probably a easier way would be temporarily at the marillat repository
and do an "apt-get build-dep mplayer."

I like building mplayer from source.
