# rpm -qa|grep mplayer
mplayer-1.0-0.80.20070715svn.lvn7.x86_64
mplayerplug-in-3.45-1.lvn7.x86_64
mplayer-fonts-1.1-4.lvn6.noarch
mplayer-gui-1.0-0.80.20070715svn.lvn7.x86_64

using livna (note the x86_64) but same should hold true for i386 (and of
course this is Fedora 7)

I do seem to recall needing to download them to my local desktop because
there wasn't enough bandwidth to play in real time over the net.

I'm downloading the first one right now to see if it will play on my
FC-6 desktop
