Hello.

Old http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/ and 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered/ repositories were 
unmaintained for some time. For OI Hipster we are working on 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/ repository with 
multimedia codecs. But it's still in its early stages. During transition 
some old SFE components can be broken, as we add newer libraries to 
/hipster-2015 and /hipster-encumbered.

What exact libraries were missing for mplayer?
