Do these older files use the same audio codec?

Make sure that your codecs are installed in the path in which MPlayer
was configured to look for them.  Also, QuickTime.qts must be in your
windows system32 directory.  I believe that the dlls may have this path
hardcoded.  In any case, you won't get qt dlls working unless you put a
copy of QuickTime.qts in system32.

It sucks, blame Apple.
If it's not documented, blame us.  :)
