First, you should be able to get sipr.so.6.0 by downloading the MPlayer
codec packs on the website.

Second, it would be a lot easier for you to just create a link from
sipr.so to sipr.so.6.0 instead of messing with codecs.conf.

No.  But you can get the default (full) list by just copying the
codecs.conf file from mplayer/etc/ and then modifying it as you like.
