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?
