This is a little unclear -- above that it mentions some of the codecs that
may not be enabled. Maybe the first paragraph should be cleaned up. And
then add a paragraph about what needs to be done for enabling the above
disabled codecs.
Would the user have to rebuild/reinstall mplayer? For example, if they
want Real Media, can they somehow just install realplayer-codecs package
and some mplayer plugin package?
