Well, I guess I don't know what rpmfusion repo to use....I could not find it on their
website....

But, anyway....

The same thing happens for me in F16 with

mplayer-1.0-0.130.20110925svn.fc16.i686
mplayer-gui-1.0-0.130.20110925svn.fc16.i686

I don't use gmplayer, obviously.  :-)

I use smplayer...which does work.
