Never mind, it should be the same with 7.3 RPMs. They are built from
the same SRPM.

Add "testing" at the and of that line.

No, this is my fault. The 0.92.1 release suffers from the same problem
that was reported about 1.0pre4-2.

Ah, but you should _install_ a new version if you have one already
installed! _Upgrade_ instead, just as my website tells you:
rpm -Uvh mplayer*

The 2.0 version is current. Sorry for the confusion, but I changed the
versioning and convinced RPM that it's newer than 9.0, because actually,
it's 2:2.0 and 1:9.0. ;)

Well, you need the docs, the manpage and the config files in both MPlayer
and GMPlayer. There's no point in installing a single binary without the
accompanying files.
