[ATrpms-users] MPlayer and Codecs

[Jake Thompson]

In that cas, Axel would it be possible/wanted to put the mplayer i386 build
in as part of the x86_64 repo.   Otherwise it seems the only way it to
temporarily switch to the i386 repo(using yum).  Or does something like
smart handle this better?

Thanks,
Jake
