I think I finally agree with Derek and recommend using upgrade rather than
dist-upgrade. In your particular case I think that specifically should be
the best way to go.

Use '-u' to see what upgrade or dist-upgrade is going to install/remove.

Also, look at www.apt-get.org and www.backports.org to see if there's a
package of mplayer that'll work for what you already have installed.
