I also downloaded the MPlayer 1.0pre1 source from their site, did configure/make and was up and running in a few minutes with no problems at all.
My computer is running Debian 3.0 (woody) and runs MPlayer like a dream.
I just wish the Debian folks would get together with the MPlayer developers and agree on a suitable package that satisfies the Debian Social Contract but does not alienate the MPlayer folks. It would be a terrible shame if MPlayer does not make it into the next release of Debian.
