I installed the amrnb package from the multimedia repo, but it didn't
help. I also installed the OpenCORE AMR libraries to /usr/local/lib as
recommended on the Mplayer site:

    MPlayer can use the OpenCORE AMR libraries through FFmpeg.
    Download the libraries for AMR-NB and AMR-WB from the
    opencore-amr project and install them according to the
    instructions on that page.
    http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/codec-installation.html
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/

But that didn't help. Also built ffmpeg from source as suggested here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178455
and did this:

    svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
    ./configure --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-version3
    make
    make install

That didn't help either, keep getting "Cannot find codec 'libamr_nb' in
libavcodec..." still searching around the www to see what I can find.
