OK, I looked at various .mpg files on my system (including the one
produced by my capture card), and nautilus says that the audio is all
MPEG-1 (with various bit-rates).

I running mplayer from the greysector FC5 repository.  The various rpms are:

> mplayer-codecs-20050412-1.i386
> mplayer-vidix-1.0pre8-0.7.20060418.i386
> mplayer-1.0pre8-0.7.20060418.i386
> mplayer-gui-1.0pre8-0.7.20060418.i386
> mplayer-codecs-extra-20050412-1.i386
> mplayerplug-in-3.25-1.lvn5.i386

(OK, mplayerplug-in comes from livna)

I've seen .tar.gz files for codecs that are newer than 20050412, but no
rpms....
