Huh? That's impossible.
$ rpm -q --requires mplayer | grep mplayer-common
mplayer-common = 0.90pre8
$ rpm -ql mplayer-common | grep codecs.conf
/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf
/usr/share/doc/mplayer-common-0.90pre8/tech/codecs.conf.txt

So you must have a broken installation of mplayer RPMs.

What does the following command say:
rpm -V mplayer mplayer-common
