The above shows packages from the official repositories, nothing 
from D-M. 

Before proceeding, consider if you really want to install "mplayer" and 
"mplayer-gui" from a third-party repository, this is something you should 
think carefuly so unless you are in need for specific functionality
that can be only found in D-M packages, seriously consider sticking to 
the ones you have already installed. 

If you still want to go with D-M packages, I would suggest that you 
first remove (or better yet, purge) the current mplayer versions from 
Debian official repos and then install whatever packages you require 
only from D-M repository.

Should you are doubtful at any stage, do not continue; stop and ask 
(send here what you did and what you got).
