Abu,
I compiled mplayer successfully on Fedora 14, but did not get any video. Then I recompiled after
# yum groupinstall "X Software Development"
and following the guide
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html
Try that and report back.
As for alsa, it should be installed by default. You need not worry about it, unless you really don't have any sound other than from mplayer?
Regards,
Antonio
