I am having trouble with mplayer.  I just installed it from ccrma and it
should be in sync with the repository.  I am trying to play a wmv file
from nbr.com.  I get the following message:

==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs
Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmv9dmod.dll,

Failed to create DMO filter
ERROR: Couldn't open required DirectShow codec: wmv9dmod.dll
Maybe you forget to upgrade your win32 codecs?? It's time to download
the new
package from:  ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/w32codec.tar.bz2!
VDecoder init failed :(

*** Try to upgrade /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html!
Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564D57!

they appear to be saying that there are new codecs that I do not have. 
If this is the case how long will it take for ccrma to make them avail
via apt-get upgrade dist?  thanks.  Buddy Bell
