Building your own package by yourself for Debian is easy, though, and if you're '''really''' lazy precompiled debs are available for x86 and ppc at [http://marillat.free.fr/ http://marillat.free.fr/]. Debian also ships DebianPkg:mpv, which is a more recent fork of MPlayer (actually a fork of MPlayer2 which was in turn a fork of MPlayer).
