I have had issues with accidental mixing of repositories with mplayer 
in the past.  It may be related.

Ensure your gmplayer and mplayer both come from the same repository.

My mplayer from Freshrpms includes gmplayer.
mplayer-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.2.fc4.rf
mplayer-docs-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4
