Running Knoppix as a production scares the hell out of me. I would
suggest changing to all Unstable sources lines and then doing and
dist-upgrade, but that is just me.
In the meantime, since Knoppix is a complete hodgepodge it probably would
do no harm to add the following line to your sources.list file...
deb
http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main
Then do an apt-get update.
The do apt-get isntall <packagename> of one of the packages below that
fits your architecture.
mplayer-386
mplayer-686
mplayer-k6
mplayer-k7
I then would recommend and apt-get install <packagename> of the following:
mplayer-doc
mplayer-fonts
If you want mplayer embedded in mozilla you can apt-get install
mplayer-mozilla as well.
Hope that helps.

P.S. IMHO installing Knoppix is a bad idea, it was designed to be a demo
distribution not a production hard disk install. I strongly suggest
installing Woody if you like Debian and let backports.org become your
friend. That or run Sid and install apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs.
