You didn't mention what distribution you're running. If it's a Redhat 
or Fedora release, I'd recommend checking out freshrpms.net; they 
have prebuilt packages for a whole bunch of extras, plus they're 
se up to act as "apt" or "yum" repositories. Setting up a Redhat or 
Fedora box to use apt is just a matter of installing the apt rpms 
found on freshrpms.net. 

Whenever I build a new Fedora box, I generally install mplayer in 
this manner. Freshrpms also has packages to re-add the mp3 components 
that Redhat had to remove from their iso images.
