Just upgraded to 5.4 yesterday morning. (Kudos to those who did that!) That's probably irrelevant to this problem:

this is an epel issue, you should ask on the epel list.
Have a try the rpmforge repo to install mplayer ~~~

Thats a fedora core 6 rpm which maybe the reason why its not working properly.

Hmmm. Okay. Too bad. Thanks for the explanation. However, I did successfully install gnumeric using yum from an RPM I got from freshrpms... a fluke, I guess.
But so mplayer isn't available from CentOS?
I was just looking at a way to prioritize repos so that freshrpms is at the bottom, i.e., so that it's sought only as a last resort: http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities. But the page doesn't quite get me all the way. How do I add an entry for freshrpms to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo so I can specify a low priority for it?

Ken, You should have a freshrpms.repo file, or something similar, within the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Yum looks for all *.repo files and pulls from the repos listed within those files. Within each individual repo file is where you would designate the priority for it. You wont need to alter /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to alter the priority for freshrpms. Might I suggest the rpmforge repo instead? Check out the following.
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge#head-20e1f6...
Others might disagree, but I've had good luck with rpmforge.
