--- Comment #13 from Raphael Groner projects.rg@smart.ms ---
This means that if mplayer is not packaged for Fedora, it cannot be used as a Requires:, Recommends: or even Suggests:.
TBH it's still not clear to me that this common policy applies _strictly_ also for weak dependencies as here mplayer counts in and mplayer is reasonable packaged in the widely used and generally available 3rdparty repository called rpmfusion.
Sorry for the long delay to work on this request.
